What do you use to backup all your photos and documents, cloud or external drive or both?
I never want to lose photos I’ve taken over the years. What’s the best solution to make sure they’re saved?

danileonis, Syncthing
BudgetBandit, Phone, PC, external SSD, iCloud All synced once a week or month or whatever
Presi300, I know that I’m gonna get hate for this but… My phone is spoofed to appear as a pixel 5, so I have unlimited Google drive storage… I would setup next cloud, if I had the hardware to…
redimk, I use: 1 copy in my primary SSD on my laptop 1 copy in my secondary SSD on same laptop, which autosyncs to: 1 copy in OneDrive family plan 1 copy on an external SSD
Kind of based on the 3-2-1 method.
AtmaJnana, I use Nextcloud to sync them from my phone/laptop/pc to my server then sync to my NAS, then monthly backup to a hard drive, which i rotate out off-site. In progress switching this to another NAS I store off site.
corroded, Everything gets backed up to a Nextcloud instance running on my main Proxmox hypervisor. Every 24 hours, each VM gets backed up to my NAS. In addition, my Nextcloud VM runs a script every night to upload its entire database to Backblaze.
worf, It's a bit overkill but I use Google Photos + iCloud + Local backup to an external HD + Backblaze cloud backup of said backup drive.
dan1101, One hard drive on site. One hard drive off site. Rotate regularly.
HonoraryMancunian, I email them to myself
Hangglide, I have terabytes worth of family photos and videos going back decades. Imagine trying to find one in you email. Yikes.
Google photos backs them all up for me for a couple buck a month. Every single one is available on my phone in seconds using their creepy good search tools, without taking up any phone space. That’s good enough for me.
shalafi, 2TB Google Drive, ~$100/yr.
VEEAM makes a local backup every night, but all my Windows libraries are mapped to a Google drive. Anything saved there automatically syncs to the cloud.
