  Would you explain how you are using rsync to backup photos on an iPhone ? I'm not aware of an iOS app named "rsync" and ... presumably you don't have a shell ... ?

    You can load the IPhone’s pictures on Linux using the folders namespace and then rsync from the loaded namespace to /local…

      I use a usb cable and a Linux laptop to copy to a couple of external hard drives (which I store separately). It’s all manual but not too orrenous although i ought backup more often. The biggest hassle is accessing the new heic format on pretty much everything. Could it all be made into a sd card image for a pi zero perhaps? Even with a web ui accessible over Wi-Fi? A basic cheap sync-cable-appliance that non-techies can easily use?

        I think I heard that the latest 'rclone' now, finally, support iCloud ... but I think there is an issue there because you can't sync full quality / RAW photos to icloud, can you ?

          rclone has support for iCloud Drive, but it sounds like you are talking about iCloud Photos, which is a different service. This project lets you download from the latter: https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_downloader https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do...

      But does it work for Live Photos which is the main premise of this app?

    Don't know if still works, but this is how I did it back in the days I had an iPhone: https://pilabor.com/blog/2022/01/access-and-recover-files-from-an-iphone-on-linux/ https://pilabor.com/blog/2022/01/access-and-recover-files-fr... Nowadays I'd use immich or ente.io, which has and e2e encryption cloud as well as self-hosted setup
