It somehow hurts me every time I hear “ignore delete” and “backup” in one sentence. Ignore delete does not make for a backup. What happens if your phone decides to corrupt the photos? The “backup” (it’s not) gets corrupted. If you want to archive/backup your photos from the phone, the solution is dead simple: Use Syncthing to sync your data, including deleted, to your other device and do backups on that folder, using your favorite backup tool (mine right now is either rsync with some scripting or borgbackup, but restic and kopia look appealing to me too and there’s a myriad of other options).
What would this workflow be missing for you?
