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 actually have the files stored in a pool on a TrueNAS machine, which handles the backup process for me in an automated fashion. I have it set to do ZFS snapshots and ship those.

I used IA tiered storage for a long time; Though I actually moved to Wasabi recently, as it's cheaper. It's just easier to say S3 because people recognize it lol.
