How do you manage your photos and videos? (monyet.cc)

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?

I selfhost PhotoPrism.

I use a folder sync app, to upload all my pictures from my phone to a directory on my server, which PhotoPrism imports from every 15 mins(Might be a bit more or less).

I have used it for a couple of years and it has worked fine for me.

Syncthing is very useful for backing uo devices! https://syncthing.net/

Syncthing is not a backup tool. Please don't use it for backups. the devs have addressed this so many times.

Before you lose your data, please try deleting a single file and see what happens.

There's file versioning available. And I haven't had any problems with backups. I have deleted my password vault on a few occasions already. And a backup has been always available in a hidden folder.
