I am currently thinking about my own setup for photo and video backup, and was curious what other people are using as their own backup systems.

Do you use online photo hosting like Google photos? Do you use self hosted backup system / network accessed storage? How many backups do you have in total? Do you split by medium and location?

Apologies if there is such a question on lemmy already.

    I use SMBSync to push photos and videos from our phones to a Syncthing that runs on a LXC container.

    That Syncthing folder is shared to multiple computers, and does a nightly rsync to the main NAS (raid1).

    The main NAS does a weekly rsync to a secondary always off raid1 NAS

    I have a cold backup on a HDD at a friend’s place far away enough. There’s a warm-ish backup on a HDD attached to a raspberry pi I sync once in a long while
