Thank you for the explanation. Can you make a video explaining how to transfer pictures and videos from Iphone to an External Hard Drive? Keeping time and date and additional data.
Thank you! When you backup the photos library to a HD or NAS does it just backup the local smaller optimised photos in the library or the full originals from iCloud?
only the smaller local library. Chris says that also somewhere in his video. You should be aware of that. Perhaps better to export to actual folders and then make the backup. More time consuming, but in this scenario much safer. Unfortunately Apple charges insane amounts for extra storage otherwise you could just buy a machine with 4 tb SSD.
I’d recommend setting your library to hold full size images on your desktop and then moving that file to your HD or NAS. Otherwise you run the risk of having a backup without the full quality images.
Time Machine doesn’t keep deleted data, it’s creating time stamped archives of your computer. As long as the hard drive you’re using for Time Machine has storage space it will continue to make new archives. When the hard drive is full, it will start deleting your oldest archives.
1) is time machine smart enough to take differential backups of your Photos archive? (Ex: does uploading a single new photo mean an entirely new backup? B) for cloud options how would you automate this? Manually does not seem sustainable. iii) what about shared albums? Great video!
i) Time Machine does a full backup of your Mac the first time it creates a backup. However, every backup after that is only backing up changes. Anything that is edited is backed up again, anything created is added to the backup, and anything deleted is no longer included in the next backup. So the answer is technically no - a single new photo does not mean an entirely new backup but a modification to your original backup in Time Machine. TWO) I wonder if you could create a MacOS shortcut or script to export all photos from your Photos library created within the last X days and upload them to your cloud storage of choice? c) When you used shared albums in iOS, Apple limits the photo size down to 2048 px on the long edge and videos to 720p. If you own the original photos that are in that album, hopefully you back them up using one of the methods mentioned in this video. If not, you can always copy them into your library and keep your own copies of those reduced images and videos. Thank you for watching!

Have been really struggling to find any info on that. At the moment using Airdrop but only sometimes files keep dates.
Will definitely look into this and see what I can do. Thanks for watching!

Thanks for the great video, Could you do a video on how to deal with Apple suddenly locking accounts with "Apple ID not active"?
How long time machine keeps deleted data? And is there way to always keep deleted files?

@chriscardoso so it only grantee full backup of current data? Older ones is recoverable but not granted? As they could get deleted
