For data I care about, the data is hosted on a NAS that incorporates an encrypted snapshot backup strategy with off-site storage in Google Drive.

Configuration I tend to store in a git repository that I back up.

For the VMs/whatever, I just document the setup and, in the case of a disaster, would just rebuild. It'd be a gigantic PITA, but the data and configuration are the important bits. The rest is just labour.

That said, this is why I don't self-host truly critical infrastructure like email or messaging. Everything I run are things I could live without for a while if I had to.
