        git push backup master
    Where backup is a remote that exists literally anywhere else. Amazon, Gitlab, and Bitbucket are three choices that come to mind.

    I would suggest using either GitHub or GitLab as primary and mirror on the other. I prefer the issue management of GitLab so use that as my primary.

    The top search result[0] are GitLab docs for pushing to or pulling from another repository for mirroring.

    How about setting up your own server and use https://github.com/go-gitea/gitea to host your projects there?

    No it isn't. Just buy an external drive or something and copy your repos to it, done and done.
