I have a NAS as my primary photo backup solution and one day someone will make a photo frame that I can point at it and it will just cycle through photos, but until that day, it’s just a blackhole of memories. That said, that blackhole is important enough to me that I also back up online.
That said, given the new AI race, it’s less safe than ever before and I’m seeking somewhere I can stick my photos and videos really cheaply and securely. Somewhere with pedigree that seems like it would be around in ten years. Also, someone with a modern design team so the app doesn’t look like shit (preferably an open source Material You app targetting Android 14) and I can get notifications with daily memories.
The AI is about my pictures being used to train facial recognition when they’re sitting in the cloud.
But that wouldn’t happen if your NAS is your backup solution, right?
If OP is attempting a 3-2-1 Backup scheme, this is an irrelevant argument.
OP wants to store a backup in a different physical location while trusting that it won’t be used to train AI. They are looking for services that can satisfy that.
This. My NAS does a good job. But if it dies, I’ll lose everything, hence wanting to backup my NAS photos.
Edit: Good job is stretching it. I need to invest in a new NAS next year.
Now that makes sense. Didn’t realize we were talking about back ups!
Any reason you don’t just encrypt before backing up?
