iCloud Photos backups are discouraged by design, and that’s a dangerous problem for users
iCloud Photos is a fantastic feature for syncing large photo and video libraries across all your devices. Have a 300GB photo library?

It’s really just your photo library in a single place — even if you don’t use Optimize Storage. iCloud Photos really doesn’t encourage methods of keeping separate, offline copies of photos and videos.
