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?

Syncthing is awesome. I'm never losing data to a damaged or stolen device again, and it makes accessing data from a computer and sending data to the phone so much easier.

But we have to keep in mind that syncthing doesn't protect by default us from accidental deletion, so it's not a 100% replacement for a backup.
