In this article let us discuss the best ways to backup digital photos on iOS devices.
Store Photos across Multiple Libraries
The current version of Apple’s Aperture or iPhoto not only share the same library format now, they also allow users to access multiple libraries. This is spread across different storage media. This process is easier with Aperture since the feature is baked into the software, but with a keyboard shortcut or third-party application like iPhoto Library Manager and the same thing works in iPhoto.
The process is simply by moving older, unused and duplicate images to separate library stored on an external drive which are not using daily. By launching Aperture or iPhoto with the option held down. Even you can switch between libraries at will with the application open file >> Switch to >> library does the same.
This tip works when libraries are stored on some kind of redundant storage like Drobo or network attached storage or in conjunction with the advice offered in our next method, which also has the benefit of freeing up precious internal space on modern flash storage devices.
Archive Photos in the Cloud

Some of the more popular options include Drop box, Google Drive, Microsoft One Drive, Media Fire, and Bit casa, and many offer mobile apps that can be configured to automatically back up the Camera Roll of iOS devices.
The same services also work with libraries from desktop applications like iPhoto, Aperture, or Adobe Light room, although you’ll want to make sure to save these files in a folder on internal or external storage that’s set up to sync from desktop to cloud for faster local access, rather than a network-based drive dependent upon internet access; Bit casa offers such an option, and other cloud services can do the same using software like Expand drive.
