I want to make any possibility of losing files on my Mac completely obsolete.
Time Machine is awesome, but saving files to single physical hard drive is, well, not safe at all. So, I guess, what I need is to back up Time Machine's backup to a cloud and make sure that my files are being stored in more than one copy in different locations. Then possibility of losing files is too insignificant to bother ever.
And the second thing is encryption. Time Machine backups are not encrypted! Why, Apple? So, I need to encrypt it before saving to the cloud. This, probably, makes it even more complicated, as now i have one huge file instead of bunch of smaller independently synched files.
Are there ready-to-use solutions? This problem seems quite important, so probably it's solved already, right? Though, I haven't found anything.
Among possible solutions, i see this one:
Backup data to a Time Capsule and backup Time Capsule to Google Cloud Storage using Syncovery, as suggested [here](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/195714/backup-time-capsule-to-cloud-online-backup-provider) . Though, I'm not sure how easy it will be to setup backing up from Capsule to the cloud.
