I have local backups on internal and external hard drives. For offsite backups, I use Amazon Photos, which offers unlimited storage with Amazon Prime.

A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Truenas server in my basement made from old hardware people were throwing away and a bunch of drives in a configuration where I can lose two of them and still recover, so I can have piece of mind not running the most top tier reliable newly bought drives.
Add an easy to set up wireguard vpn paired with duckdns as a dyndns provider makes my personal 'cloud' storage solution with a minimal risk of anyone unauthorized accessing my data.
I have a file server at home with 26 TB of RAID5 storage that, in turn, is backed up to 3 RAID5 NASes. I would NEVER store photographs on something as volatile as an SD card or a single hard-drive.
file server in my office + backup in my office + backup at home
before that: Synology NAS <- easy to set up & forget (and backup to another Synology box)
I’m using google drive right now but after 1 photo shoot my storage is full and I don’t know where I can upload the other 2 shoots I did.
I don’t mind paying for something as long as it’s a lot of storage
Like... Google Drive? It's £7 pm for 2 TB, whether that's "a lot" is up for debate.
Multiple hard drives, cloud service.
Follow the 3-2-1 rule. 3 back ups. Two different types, and one in cloud/off site.
