What do you use to backup all your photos and documents, cloud or external drive or both? - eviltoast

I never want to lose photos I’ve taken over the years. What’s the best solution to make sure they’re saved?

    Tip: Have a look at osxphotos, an open source software you can run on your Mac and export all your Apple Photos to your own full structure, including any metadata. So you get a copy that is independent on Apple photos and can be used in any photo library system later, if need be. I send that export to my Synology and C2 every day. I guess I just don’t liked Synology photos backup from phone, had to manually open it all the time.

      Interesting. I’ve not had any issues with the Synology Drive app on my phone (just checked and everything is there) but this approach could work too…
