I have a main 1TB hdd that i carry around that has the main backup of the things i work on, personal pics, etc, and another 2TB hdd that has the same data backed up plus favourite media (movies/series/anime/etc), and this is all i have.

So, to follow the 3-2-1 rule i am planning to add a 2TB hdd to back up my back up since i cannot consider the 1TB a backup since i use it often (hence more probably to fail), but also i wanna have a cloud backup (settled on dropbox), but right now these few months i can only afford one of them, i will add the other in the summer.

So which one should i add first? Which has the higher priority? I am guessing the cloud but not sure.
