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.

That looks pretty good, thanks for linking to it.

It doesn’t talk about not being able to access person tags. Not being able to programmatically access the data about who google thinks is in each of my photos has been an annoying pain point for me for years. Last I checked, the data is also not included in Google Takeout dumps.
