Does anyone have any good suggestion on an automated way to back up my entire google photos collection?

Currently I use Google Takeout and then upload a ton of zip files to a backup like Backblaze.

But it's tedious as heck and has me maintaining scripts to manage it. Which is the worst because I touch it once a year so I forget everything.

I'd pay money for a business that handles this. I just want my photos safe from a Google tantrum, but I don't want to do the work.

Just a simple google search on terms "github google takeout photos" gives a link to a script https://github.com/TheLastGimbus/GooglePhotosTakeoutHelper plenty of other projects to use or get an idea for your own. Even if you are not a programmer writing a python script is not hard.

The backblaze part you can automate with rclone or 10's of other commercial software or any from this page https://www.backblaze.com/b2/integrations.html

Thanks. I've done all of that and is what I'm trying to avoid.

I backup everything to my local server.

I also do some side work, feel free to email me if you would like me to help you set this up, if you have a server, we can do it all remotely. p n u t@ (borowicz).org, remove spaces and ()
