Oh shit... Damn. sorry that happened to you :(
I do back it up with the rest of my stuff to an external hard drive, but that's... Like once in a year so could be better.
I have my keepass database file in my cloud that i use to sync it between phone and PC. I create a backup of all of my files on my PC + cloud folder once a year to an external hard drive. Better than nothing but probably would be better to do this more frequently ๐
I also empty my phone from time to time and move everything I want to keep to my PC (like photos).
BTW I find SimpleX is great for syncing between your phone and PC. I used it with multiple computers/profiles on GOS and just created an incognito group without history and with disappearing message and that's how I moved stuff like addresses and passwords to my PC. The app is also great for communication ofc
Note is that I don't link my SimpleX to my PC but create separate profiles
