I recently noticed that my nextcloud instance was missing photos. I have the android app set to automatically upload my photos. When I need to clear up space on my phone, I make a separate backup (because I’m a paranoid SOB and hard drives are relatively cheap). I noticed that nextcloud auto upload missed about 10% of the photos. I’m not going to bash the nextcloud devs, as I recognize that I am using a free product and am owed nothing, but I’m making this post so others are aware of this risk. Apparently I’m not alone https://help.nextcloud.com/t/android-client-does-not-auto-upload-all-images/216849/14
Thanks but the goal is to sync with the “cloud”, for backup in case of fire or something.
I have hundreds (thousand ?) of albums I need to backup. I can reencode them cause 98% are on CD, but if I loose both my computers and my CDs, I’m done :/
I only use cloud backup for music and the few photos I take with my phone so I don’t really need real-time syncing.
I sync to TrueNAS scale with photosync and then I sync scale with back blaze b2
Would a safety deposit box at a bank be an appropriate option for your off-site backups?
