I do keep all my music (6G), all my ebooks (2G), and all my photos
(11G) on my phone and it's always with me. It's nice to have access to
the *whole* library and it also serves as my off site backup.

Unless it remains off site all the time its not really going to serve as
off site.
You can be sure that the fire/flood/lightning strike will happen while
they are together if the data is valuable.

That is so true Dennis. And while I keep some stuff off site (not as
much as I should). My data really doesn't have a lot of monetary value.
As heaven forbid that my house burns right into the ground someday. And
all of my devices and data are no more. Yes that would be heartbreaking
and all, but that is nothing compared that I don't have a house
anymore. I dunno, but I think most would feel the same.

You can always rebuild a house

and I have an 8TB server at home and at work that mutually back each
other up (problem there for dennis , who is ... no longer employed)

The loss here would be photographs, slides, cassettes and vinyl

far too lazy to back up / scan all that lot in
