I agree. There's so much peace of mind in having my photos uploaded to the cloud every so often, and my phone automatically backed up every night.
It's possible to go further: iCloud on Windows is able to automatically download the actual files, so those get backed up somewhere else.
- roydivision 6y agoYup, I’ve tried doing all this myself, interesting technical exercise, but realistically I have other things to do. Additionally to iCloud I have configured my Mac Mini to download all files and photos, which are then backed up using BackBlaze.

- toomuchtodo 6y agoYes (not OP, but I do the same). If you're worried about something munging that data, you can take a point in time snapshot of that folder to B2 using the Backblaze UI, and it'll dump a zip of the folder into B2 for you.
