It's A Digital Disease!

Hey folks! I'm trying to get some better internal structure, safety and hygiene in my back up strategies. I am trying to better understand the most optimal approach to the 3-2-1 strategy in this case. I am considering adding Backblaze into this, but unsure if I should back up my computer, or my external hard drive to Backblaze.

MacBook Pro - Currently only doing backup regularly through a physical hard drive (+ integrate back up to Backblaze?)

External 2TB Hard drive - Containing music library, old photos, artist project files etc. Currently, I have a second hard drive that is a copy of the first. How can I keep this second hard drive an exact clone of the first one, without manually having to drag files between them? That it what I have done up until now. I want to have this second copy at home, since I travel a lot. The first one is always in my backpack, so I want a safe copy if the first should be stolen, damaged or corrupted.

Thanks in advance for your insights!
