It seems that the options for backup are:

1. Use takeout to get a single backup.

That's it.

There is no way I can tell to get incremental backups. It seems that there used to be[0][1], but some permissions changes on Google's side made them impossible.

Is there really no way to do this?

What alternatives are worth considering for a cloud based photo tool, that actually allows you to backup?

Still, founders are all bright colors and act as if this situation was OK. But I ask myself, is the purpose of business to be profitable? Who would be sane enough to pour X millions to a venture that is known to have failed multiple times?
