How to Backup iPhotos to DVD?

Last Updated :

Loading your precious Photos in your Mac does not guarantee you they would be safe. In case you loose your Mac or it is damaged, you might loose your Photos. The best way is to Backup your iPhotos. There several ways to Backup your Photos, but the best way to Backup your iPhotos is to backup to a DVD.
Follow the step by step guide to learn how to Backup iPhotos to DVD:

  1. Go to your home folder and to ‘Pictures’ folder.
  2. Since the ‘Library’ file is treated as an individual folder, drag and drop it to the DVD. The Photos in folder would be duplicated one by one.
  3. You can also drag and drop single Photos into a new folder. View the folder to know the Photos have been copied and then copy the folder to the DVD.
  4. To export your Photos, you can ‘Ctrl > Select Photos’ and choose ‘File > Export’. Select the ‘Original’ Photos in the ‘Export’ window. Choose ‘Export’ and a Destination (ie. DVD).
  5. Now that you have Dragged, Copied or Exported your Photos to the DVD, select pictures and choose ‘Share > Burn’ to Burn the DVD. This creates a picture disc that is compatible with iPhoto. Your Photos are backed to a DVD!

PicBackMan does exactly what it's supposed to. It's quick and efficient. It runs unobtrusively in the background and has done an excellent job of uploading more than 300GB of photos to 2 different services. After having lost a lot of personal memories to a hard drive crash, it's nice to know that my photos are safe in 2 different places.

LOVE this program! Works better than ANY other program out there that I have found to upload thousands of pictures WITH SUB-FOLDERS to SmugMug! Thank you so much for what you do! :) #happycustomer

I pointed PicBackMan at a directory structure, and next time I looked - all the photos had uploaded! Pretty cool. I use SmugMug and while I really like it, the process of creating directories in is pretty laborious when you need to make 80+ at a time. This was a breeze. Thank you!
