You can never have too many backups. Also, you can never have too many backups

FileZilla and wget just broke my backups - because neither would switch back to TLSv2...

I recently upgraded to FileZilla Server 1.5. It was used to download backups via FTPS from a Windows machine using wget from a TrueNAS server. The upgrade procedure broke, because it looks wget compiled with OpenSSL has a bug that leads to a segfault when used with TLSv3 - and when compiled with GnuTLS won't resume the TLS session. FileZilla Server requires the session resumption. Both of them refuse to be set to use TLSv2 only instead of TLSv3, because you know, security - even if it means that to make it work you have to get back to plain text transfers, or get rid of everything and switch to something else...

So right now backups are moved manually - "copy file x to A, file y to B...."
