An actual backup, would be a copy of said photos and vidoes on:

- An external Drive. (which is only connected to copy files)

- An external cloud service.

- Another computer that you have.

You should probably do a couple of these.

I personally backup home computers (using borg) to a home server, that server has a 2.5 2TB external HDD connected to it (2 other 2.5 external drives are kept outside of the house). A backup of important files from the nas (including the computer backups) gets copied over to the external drive nightly. Weekly the drives gets rotated.

The really important stuff is also backed up offsite on a daily basis.
