    long time lurker first post lol confession: my only backup of my family photos is cloud storage. I'm fairly sure that's not enough, but every guide I find is either enterprise-level or a sales pitch. what's a sensible, low-effort setup for a normal person with a desktop and a laptop? I'd like to spend a little money if it's worth it, but I don't want to build a server in my closet. what's the sweet spot for a normal household? im about to throw this thing out the window lol

    been there man test a restore every few months: pick a random file from an old backup and actually open it. its teh only way to know the backup works.
