I think it’s incredibly important to backup your photos onto some form of removable media, tuck it away somewhere safe. This is in addition to your Time Machine or cloud backup.
Personally, I periodically backup all my photos to a single removable drive and store the drive in a safe deposit box.
All that said, this is a terrific article, with detail on prepping for backup, locating all relevant files, importing/moving as needed, and more. Worth reading and passing along.
Not sure I agree with you on this Dave.
If you take new images on a regular basis… Now you’re into multiple swapped media.
If you already do a Time Machine and SuperDuper/CCC backup on a regular basis, doing a photo back up on an irregular basis seems needless to me, as long as all of your photos are on the machine being backed up regularly, they’re on two forms of backup. And, the great thing about Time Machine is that older deleted photos are there too.
The one thing that makes a separate photo backup meaningful is if one’s Lightroom or Photos or X photo library gets corrupted and you don’t catch it in time and copy the corrupted library over the backup. Time Machine can undo this but it’s a bit of a hassle: got to keep the new stuff but go back to the last saved library that’s workable.
Bottom, line is, you either trust your backup system, or you don’t. And, if you don’t, why do it?
