Rclone syncs your files to cloud storage
Sadly, it’s not configurable. It’s just an inherent limitation of the API (1). Takeout is the best alternative, but for something more realtime you can use tools (2) that wrap the browser UI which also exports full quality.

A way to auto send from google photo to photoprism?
What I did was a very painful process of using Google Takeout and gphotos-sync ( https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync ), manually merging what I knew was missing, and using file counts by month/year to track other missing objects. gphotos-sync is limited by the same API issues as rclone, which is another perfectly fine utility to use, besides the API limitations. On a side note, I use rclone to backup everything to "storj" every night ( delta sync ).

Immich - Self-hosted photos and videos backup solution from your mobile phone (AKA Google Photos replacement you have been waiting for!) - March late update - now with CLIP-enabled search mechanism.
I haven't tried immich yet, but I am using https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync with great success. I wonder how hard it would be to set up a workflow to get the synced photos into immich.

Amazon Photos just ate 240,364 of my photos
I pull mine from Google Photos, with a docker image running a tool: https://github.com/gilesknap/gphotos-sync
Its not perfect, but as a backup, it works well.

ThinMachine – A $25 Thin Client macOS Time Machine Appliance
People who want something similar may want to look at Arq [1]. Similar to restic, it provides incremental encrypted backups to most cloud providers (or a machine with SSH). But it is a Mac app, making it easy to configure and maintain. I never had issues with data corruption so far.
Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with them, just a happy user for 9 years.

What am I looking for!?
Sending it to the NAS should create a copy automatically to BOTH an online server (I was thinking dropbox, but the space might be too limited. Maybe AWS? I've used https://www.arqbackup.com/ on my computer before so something similar would be great) and a second drive (so I guess I'm looking at a 2-drive NAS that I can setup as master-slave).

Guys I’m scared 😭 my life is on my computer and I don’t know how to fix it
For actual off-site backups, using something like https://www.backblaze.com or use https://www.arqbackup.com and your own choice cloud storage provider.

Anyone use Veeam Backup for Mac?
Curious too. On the Mac side, I feel like I mostly hear about Backblaze for cloud backups, but I do like Arq for pushing to any of the typical cloud storage options.

You could try this: https://www.arqbackup.com/ , it supports B2 I believe.

Digital clutter: Learning to let go and stop hoarding terabytes
Regarding Arq backup: if you are worried about using a proprietary (enrypted) and closed-source backup format in case the company were to go under, they have an open source command-line restore tool:
https://github.com/arqbackup/arq_restore
I've been using Arq for years, but I need to look into the "Glacier Deep Archive" format which is about 1/20th the cost of the fastest storage class.
