The Data Transfer Project makes it easy for people to transfer their data between online service providers. We are establishing a common framework, including data models and protocols, to enable direct transfer of data both into and out of participating online service providers. (by google)

    I would argue that it is exactly in line with Apple's brand identity.

    Pretty much everybody agrees that you need to backup your cloud storage as well as your local computer, and Apple even backs up your i-devices to the cloud, and yet, there is no automated way of backing up your iCloud storage.

    About a decade ago, Google initiated the Data Transfer Framework[1] that allows you to transfer data from one cloud provider to another, directly from provider to provider instead of downloading it first. It sadly appears to not have gotten enough traction to be of any use.

    Once/If Data Transfer Project takes off, I’m hoping I will be able to schedule cloud to cloud backups without transferring data home first.

    It's not just your parents.

    I've moved everything to the cloud. I have nothing running at home except networking gear, and a small "server" that pulls nightly backups from the clouds to a local USB drive.

    In theory i could probably do without the local server if looking at Apple/Microsoft/Google data redundancy (Microsoft is multi geo, i can't figure out what Apple is).

    Sadly i need to guarantee that some random account closure doesn't remove all my data, so the backup server stays for now. The way cloud prices are going, it will only be a question of months/years before it's cheaper/easier to just utilize two cloud services, one for main storage and one for backup storage, and with projects like the data transfer project [1], you don't even need to download them first.

    That's interesting, and it's the first I've heard of the project. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like Apple has yet released the adaptors to the open source project [1]. As much as I'm not interested in having Apple copy my photos to Google, I am very interested in scripting my own offline backups without having to make space for Photos.app to store all my photos on my laptop's SSD. Hopefully the adaptors are added to the project soon.
