I am trying to finally move from entirely depending on Google Photos to a proper backup strategy. I have my photos and videos downloaded from Google which are a mess right now but as long they're with me I am fine, at least for now.

So, what I have planned is 3 way backup with Mega Drive-Google Photos- Local storage. Local storage, I will start off with storing on a pendrive and my router has a usb port so will make use of it for time being.

I know my way of doing things is noobish for a piracy community (and in general too, I am kinda embarrassed as well sharing this "strategy" of mine). Hence I'm asking for suggestions to improve my strategy. Yeah, in the future I will move to HDDs and NAS but for time being I am starting out this way.

So how do you manage your personal media? Are there any noob-friendly tools/techniques you know which drastically improve my strategy?

Immich - I moved from PhotoPrism some months ago, and am very happy I did.

Indeed. Immich is the way to go. While stating heavy development I find it quite stable. Did not have major issues with it. However I don't use their interface much. I just use it as 2nd backup location to automatically upload stuff from my phone to something else than the big G.

Obviously this need some sort of server but a VPS will do.
