Backup iPhoto photo library

The article introduces how to back up your iPhoto '11 photo library to an external hard drive or CD / DVD.

Damaged system may cause data loss, especially all images that you store in your computer. Therefore, Mac users should regularly use the Time Machine feature to back up images to an external hard drive.

Backup to external hard drive

Connect an external hard drive to your Mac and turn it on. A Finder window will appear, displaying the content in the external hard drive. Then, open a new Finder window and select your Pictures folder, which is the folder containing iPhoto's image library file. Next, drag this file to the external hard drive folder. You can overwrite the old file if available.

Backup to CD / DVD

For small iPhoto libraries, you can backup to CD / DVD. Load CDs or DVDs into your Mac optical drive, drag your iPhoto library from the Pictures folder into the optical disc icon on the desktop. Then, drag this icon towards the trash to activate the Burn Disc burning application.

If your iPhoto library is too large for the size of a DVD, you can record it in sections. From the iPhoto application, mark the photos you want to copy, then select Share -> Burn from the menu bar. This is a great way to create a backup disc.
