How do you actually back up and save your photos and media off of your Android phone? (self.android)

I've mostly just relied on Google Photos, and I really like its features. However, I have always been deathly afraid of losing access to my Google photos account and losing all of those, so I need a better way to actually back up my photos. Right now all I do is do a Google Takeout every so often, but that's inefficient as hell.

How do you do it? How do you backup or sync your photos with a PC/local server?

I export them to an external. Once I move them I delete my Google photos. Rinse and repeat. I've considered paying for expanded cloud storage so I don't have to dig for a picture or video from months/years ago, but that's another project for another day.
