I recently purchased a Synology with 2 disks in raid 1 to backup all my Google Drive, all my Google Photos files continuously.
I feel much better since doing this (apart, of course, for the fact I now need to back up my Synology too to really feel good!)
And for those who think Google Takeout is there to save you, just bear in mind it can be very erratic with large volumes (I had the biggest pain to get my Google Photo despite taking out less than 200 gb, it took several tries to have all the files)
No one is safe against account issue, or as it seems to be the case in the help thread, pure data loss. Just back things up and rely on cloud for flexibility rather than storage.
- patriksvensson 3y agoI've been doing Google Takeout backups to Synology for a while. Curious is you or any other users have an automated way to do this instead? So an automated way to backup Google Photos to Synology.
- clement_b 3y agoI actually did a one time backup using Take Out, then what I do is: - Cloud Sync to keep a copy of my Google Drive. - Synology Photo on my phone to backup every new photo/video I take. That way I benefit from Google software and storage + backup of my stuff without worrying about it.

- potemkinhr 3y agoWhat other raid could he have on a two drive NAS? I have the same setup at home with some push to the cloud and have the peace of mind that if one drive fails I can recover from it with a rebuild of the other drive
