My photography content is about 1.5 TB and my MBP is 500 gb.
I recently found out that you can backup Macs + external drives to Time Machine, but this seems unhelpful if my photography drive is 1.5 TB and my TM backup drives are around 2-4TB.
What would be the best way to go about this? I also have iCloud, but can't think of a decent way to get my photography stuff there without mixing my personal and photography libraries, which I do not want to do.

For Mac, I am thinking:
- TM backups to 2 external HDDs
- Photos and important documents to iCloud also (which is basically the only things of importance on my Mac - I think pretty much everything is backed up to iCloud, which I share with family but have about 1.5 TB of space left).

For Photography, I am thinking:
- Manual backup from camera to SSD (this will be what I edit on and categorize stuff on - right now this lives in the
Apple Photos app, but I may move to folders)
- Manual backup from camera to another HDD (this is what I dont really like because it is manual and edits will differ from the other SSD).
- Maybe add Backblaze...? For this and Mac since both would be included.

Any tips on how to streamline this more? Ideally would be as automated as possible. The weak point is definitely my photography stuff but due to the large volume size (which I am trying to cut down by deleting photos), it's very difficult to find a better alternative!
Please help! Thanks!
