Backing Up Image Data

Backing up image data focuses on the importance of preserving raw photos along with associated metadata. While some prioritize simple file backups to avoid complexity, others consider the trade-off between compute costs and the benefits of capturing metadata like face recognition and GPS coordinates. Current solutions involve using tools like Duplicati for encrypted backups to cloud services, ensuring redundancy by uploading files to both an image server and a platform like Google Drive. Additionally, having copies on personal devices, such as phones, enhances data security and accessibility. Alternatives to mainstream services are emerging, with some gaining traction for their effectiveness in photo management.
