What software to choose for backup in parallel to 2 storages?

There are several computers and servers in different cities. Mostly windows, but there are a couple of webservers on ubuntu.
And there are 2 offices where there are disk arrays available from the outside.
The task is to put copies in parallel on 2 devices, so that in the event of an accident on one, the second copy is preserved.
Background: in one office there were backups of some devices, in another office backups of others. We thought it was reliable - raid 5, 2 communication channels, uninterruptibles ... And then we were robbed and taken out of one office everything, and a lot of data was lost. To avoid this, it was decided to keep copies in parallel in 2 geographically separated points across the country.
We chose software for copying, but did not see solutions with replication or parallel copying on the surface.

In almost any commercial backup software, you can set up a backup to two repositories, but not always synchronously. Those. at first we copy in the first, then in the second. Or we make a copy of the just made backup to the second site (so as not to load the product twice). Another backup must be checked - Schrödinger backup == no backup.

Yes, any software allows you to specify additional locations for placing archives.
Why do you need parallel? Better sequentially - first in one location, then in another.
I usually just copy an already created backup to a new location with a script on a schedule - it's more convenient.

We thought it was reliable - raid 5, 2 communication channels, uninterruptibles ...
Well, already from the description it is clear that it is unreliable - if you have raid 5 there, what kind of reliability can we talk about?
In general, as a rule, it makes no sense to put RAID on backup storage. Well, in any case, not the fifth.

For windows machines, look at EffectorSaver.
