I am trying to finally move from entirely depending on Google Photos to a proper backup strategy. I have my photos and videos downloaded from Google which are a mess right now but as long they're with me I am fine, at least for now.

So, what I have planned is 3 way backup with Mega Drive-Google Photos- Local storage. Local storage, I will start off with storing on a pendrive and my router has a usb port so will make use of it for time being.

I know my way of doing things is noobish for a piracy community (and in general too, I am kinda embarrassed as well sharing this "strategy" of mine). Hence I'm asking for suggestions to improve my strategy. Yeah, in the future I will move to HDDs and NAS but for time being I am starting out this way.

So how do you manage your personal media? Are there any noob-friendly tools/techniques you know which drastically improve my strategy?

Have you ever logged in to a linux shell? If so, the below or similar may be familiar:

Debian GNU/Linux comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

As I see they are just

  • covering their asses legally, in case someone wanted to go to court over losing family pictures
  • making sure that the admin knows that they really really should do backups of the data stored there

"no warranty" is very different from "expect bugs and breakage"

It tells me they're not confident in or trying for stability. Which means I have to expect issues and fix up time requirements. Which I'm not willing to invest regularly.
