- Gareth321 4y agoI ended up paying for iCloud and buying a Mac. There is an option to automatically sync full copies to Mac. They charge a premium but it works flawlessly. Caveat 1: it's technically a sync, not a backup. The risk remains that Apple deletes all my pictures remotely, and this deletion propagates to delete my local copies. There is still a recycle bin, but perhaps Apple has some way of deleting even that remotely. I don't think so, but it's a risk. To mitigate this, I periodically download all pictures to "cold" storage. It's fragmented and poorly categorised but at least the pictures are there in the case of a catastrophe. Caveat 2: this only works in the Apple ecosystem. For Unraid/Windows (Docker), I found this: https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/tsxi5k/icloudpd_autosync_your_icloud_photos_at_full_res/ https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/tsxi5k/icloudpd...
