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

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 have a two-pronged approach. I use Google photos as is with their normal compression for searchability and casual browsing of photos, but I also have Nextcloud running on my own server where my photos are all backed up in full quality. Both uploads happen automatically so I don't have to think about it
