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.

    Some interesting and technically impressive replies here. I’m painfully aware that in this context my reply will seem appallingly gauche, but… I use Amazon Photos.

    I’ve got an old NAS that has all our precious photos and vids on, but Amazon Photos comes free with prime and, as the multiple firesticks we’ve got for IPTV have a screen saver that can slideshow your pictures, it means that we actually view the many thousands we’ve got on our main TVs.

    What can I say - it just works, it’s convenient and accessible. I’m sure if I was a professional photographer I’d have a way different approach, but that ain’t me.
