Photographers carry the definition of “can’t replace it”. You need large-library handling, external-drive backup and version history for when an edit goes wrong.

IDrive for external-drive and multi-device coverage of a big library; Backblaze if it’s all on one machine and you want it effortless. Add a local drive too — cloud is half of the 3-2-1 rule.
