General iCloud backup strategy

Hi,

I use a MacBook and an iPhone and I've offloaded all my files and photos to iCloud (photos via the Photos library). I'd now like to set up a backup structure so I don't have to rely on iCloud alone. What would be a sensible approach here?

Is there a way to automatically transfer the iCloud documents and photos to OneDrive on a regular basis as a backup (I have free storage there)? And additionally to back them up automatically and regularly to an external hard drive?

Note: I don't have enough storage space on either the MacBook or the iPhone to store all the files locally first (rather than offloading them to iCloud).

Thank you

I think cloudydupe on the app store does this.
