I’ve mostly just relied on Google Photos, and I really like its features. However, I have always been deathly afraid of losing access to my Google photos account and losing all of those, so I need a better way to actually back up my photos. Right now all I do is do a Google Takeout every so often, but that’s inefficient as hell.
How do you do it? How do you backup or sync your photos with a PC/local server?
You can keep using google photos as your cloud backup. Locally with a cable, I use a 1 tb external hard drive for all my backup needs (photos,videos and other files) and then I have a copy of that same drive’s contents on a different 1tb hard drive as a sort of backup backup drive all encrypted via veracrypt. I just remember to copy over my original photos every week or so. It should be noted that I’m not taking hundreds of photos a day though. Storage is pretty cheap nowadays if you opt for spinning mechanical hard drives and pair them with a case and its a pretty good, local backup method imo.
