This is my backup method:

* A nextcloud+recognize (for face recog) instance running on Hetzner. $20/month (I co-host other services on the VM). This is attached to a Hetzner storage box.

* Syncthing pushes all of nextcloud to a zfs.rent (great service BTW) machine, I purchased my disks up front, so it's $cheap/month. ZFS snapshots are taken.

* Local RPi NAS. Syncthing up to the other two.

About $40/month in total. How valuable are 240k photos to you?

Uploading photos is a matter of sending them to Nextcloud. Syncthing does the rest.
