You misunderstand my claim.

You misunderstand the intent then.

Why would anyone back up data in the manner you’re saying? That’s dumb.

Don’t split the data across multiple logical locations, keep it logically contained. A raid designed for availability is better than a single external hard drive but that isn’t what is being talked about.

3 2 1 means keeping multiple copies of the SAME data on multiple media types in multiple locations so you remove a single point of failure.
