Not the parent, but Google Photos has been decent as a secondary backup. They even backup Live Photos now.
replyThe two formats I've found that they don't back up accurately are rotated photos (if one's a stickler for "originals") and cropped screenshots (JPEG instead of PNG). Possibly the sidecar files for edits too.
Rotation data isn't included in the file, or it just doesn't display with the correct orientation?
replySometimes Google photos shows the wrong orientation for my pixel photos/videos but it's just a display issue.

replyThere’s this MacOS native application called Image Capture, use it to backup 100GB of photos. I then partitioned the photo by year and 7zipped them with encryption.
replyYou missed the salient details: "I dont have a mac"
replyEverything you stated to is useless to the person you replied.
Maybe he interpreted the "how do you backup" as a particular question directed to him, not a general one.
replyIs handled by Synology DS File app. Is what I've done for 6 years. I don't send photos to iCloud.
