Most of your objects can be saved into savefiles on disk and stored in a ‘cloud’. You might be able to create virtual tape images also, if your system is recent enough.

Be extremely careful in how you test any such solution though. Backing stuff up isn’t nearly as tricky as getting it properly restored. That’s an area where a commercial product may pay for itself.
