Google Photos reminders users how deleting works across devices

As always, backup backup and backup!
3 is 2! 2 is 1! 1 is none! Look for redundant capability; not redundant gear!
I recommend that everyone use at least two different backup capabilities for the all important photos.
This was brought home hard when it looks like Google Photos “barfed” and took out BOTH the local device and the Google cloud backup copy.
Needless to say, that was traumatic. Luckily a restart unbarfed Google Photos. We immediately set up another backup capability on DROPBOX.
Suggest that (1) you should be backing up your phone’s pictures SOMEWHERE; (2) have a redundant capability for at least two independent backups; (3) consider using a cheap disk drive — usb or ssd — to create that complete off line archival backup.
After the disaster, it’s no good to say shoulda, coulda, and woulda!
