I used to do everything (quite literally) "in house". Then my electric bills got to be stoopid-big. Switched to using cloud-services. Also means I no longer worry about power outages, basement getting flooded (and my rack submerged), remote accessibility (and protecting the home network from getting owned via an exposed service/port), etc.
From a TCO price-point and reliability standpoint, using BackBlaze's B2 service with something like Restic is hard to beat for keeping your Linux system backed up. About the only thing that might be more cost effective (haven't looked, recently, would be one of the CSP's archival-oriented service – like AWS's Glacier offering).
