Nice try, government.
Local NAS with Nextcloud open to the www.
nothing fancy. manual backup to externals. store at home and the office. checksums are saved on the drives, and re-verified whenever we dig one out to fetch some files or to add more. don’t really need more than that for photos and home movies, so no nas or cloud.
Manual backups to externals - honestly nothing that really gets revisited that often so dont feel the need for setting up anything more complex.

Currently, nothing.
I store my photos on a 4TB local drive in my computer.
This autumn though, I have accepted that I need to bite the bullet and over pay for the last two drives in my NAS build.
I currently have four 8TB drives, but need two more to complete my plan for a zraid2 32TB storage array.
Backup?
For my own, absolutely nothing, i don’t like pictures. I will gladly let those disappear every time i switch the phone.
For my wifes, just from time to time coping those from mobile to PC and storing it on 2 different hard drives.
Immich for backups from the phones.
PeerTube for videos worth sharing with friends and family.
Can you make videos private and only accessible to certain people on peertube??
Yes there are several ways to do it:
- Put a password on a specific video and share the password with specific people
- Make them “internal”, they will not be distributed via activity pub and only people who have an account on your instance can see them (this is what I do, I gave friends and family an account on my instance, about 90% of my videos are internal)
- Make the video unlisted, like on youtube only people with the direct link can see it, doesn’t federate and doesn’t show up in lists or search
- Make it private, only you can see it
Photos: Hard copy. The negatives, if they were actual film.
Videos: I don’t take any and the things I save can usually be found again. cough some vintage porn notwithstanding…
Syncthing, automatic storage to my NAS and main PC.
I have this. I have Syncthing on our phones as well to backup our images to desktop, configured as when I move the images away on the desktop it makes room on the phone.
Desktop, backed up to NAS, nightly pushes to Backblaze b2. Have Immich pointed to the NAS with most of my photos / video as external storage. Any media uploaded to Immich (phone sync) also goes to the NAS and then b2.
Photos/videos from my phone get backed up on two laptops and eventually an external drive. Photos from cameras do the same with the more interesting photos going to my phone as well. These all tend to be on the same physical location so I really should find better way.
Just synctjing to my local PC. From time to time I backup the important stuff to an external drive.
