If you delete files in the source directory, rsync does not propagate the deletion to the backup directory unless you add the --delete option.
If you don’t want to delete the files entirely, you can place them in a separate directory with --backup --backup-dir=:
1rsync -arv photo ~/backup_photo --delete --backup --backup-dir=~/backup_photo/delete
Of course, a remote backup is also possible:
1rsync -arv photo user@backup-server:~/backup_photo --delete
Finally, in case your server isn’t listening on SSH port 22, use the -e option, for example SSH on port 443: -e 'ssh -p 443'.
