Syncthing may fit the bill.
I use syncthing for backups including some phone files, but I'm not sure this would be good.
Syncthing devs clearly don't want this app used as a sync-and-archive tool so all phones would have all copies and any phone can permanently delete any file. I wouldn't trust that.
(Yes, there is a roundabout way, I do it too, but it is prone to errors and sync issues)
I second immich and backup. immich can archive as you want, and Syncthing can make backups of files.
I third Immich
Is the roundabout way file versioning? Cause its been pretty stable for me, just toss a device with lots of space on the cluster and crank up the versions to your hearts content
It's changing settings to only allow one way sync and disable deletion. The sync folder basically becomes an automatic archive destination.
They are soooo close to having this cool tool, but many feature requests have been shot down because it's not a true sync. I get it, but it sucks too.
Oh I see, have you tried file versioning?
It honestly sounds exactly like what you want, and the support is even built in to call an external command if you don't like their default options provided
personnaly i have try a lot Syncthing at different times and all times I had synchronization problems in the first minutes of testing with few files (between android lineageos and/or two linux desktop)
(fw, ip, setup, are "fine", so i dropped and go back with nextcloud/rsync/kdeconnect -_-)
I have syncthing set up between my phone, tablet, and desktop. I've only noticed it not syncing once, but as soon as I opened the app on my phone it scanned and synced, so it just hadn't run in the background yet.
