DedupeHow to get your photos backed up on iPhone?
Last Updated :
If you are using an iPhone or any smartphone for that matter, it is important to back up your phone’s data on a regular basis to avoid unnecessary trouble if at all your phone fails in the future. Photos are an integral part of our lives. We tend to click pictures to record memories and relive them again at a later time. It is absolutely imperative for you to keep a backup of all your clicked pictures through your iPhone on your PC, laptop, cloud, etc. to avoid losing them accidently. There are several options available for this purpose. Here are 3 of the most popular and efficient ways to achieve this:
iTunes Backup:
Perform a backup through your iTunes software. This will store your contacts, messages, personal settings, apps data and photos. The backup process can be performed by plugging your iPhone into your computer through a USB cable.
- Open iTunes.
- Once your iPhone is connected, open the summary tab which can be accessed by clicking ‘View’ and then choosing ‘Show Sidebar’.
- Click ‘Back Up Now’
This backup can be restored by connecting your phone into iTunes again and clicking on ‘Restore Backup’ which lies just adjacent to the ‘Back Up Now’ button.
iCloud Backup:
iCloud provides 5GB of storage space for photos, videos, messages, settings, ringtones, apps data. It, however, doesn’t back up music files added to your device from sources other than iTunes.
- Open Settings app from your Home screen
- Select ‘iCloud’.
- Tap ‘Backup’.
- Switch on ‘iCloud Backup’.
Your device will now automatically back up your iPhone’s data when connected to a power source and a wifi network.
Third Party Apps for Backup:
You can use other third party apps that allow you to backup your photos from your iPhone. There are many apps available for the same. Do your research, download an appropriate app and back up data by following the instructions given by the app. These apps are pretty reliable.

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!

PicBackMan was really easy to setup and has been running for 3 days now backing up all my locally saved photos to Flickr. My photos are really valuable to me so it's great to be able to have them easily backed up to a secure location.
Jim Griffin It's AWESOME!! I have tens of thousands of pictures...and they are now successfully uploaded to SmugMug, where they are safely backed up, and I can edit and organize them. If you are hesitating about using PicBackMan, hesitate no longer...try it...and you'll be glad you did!!

I started with the basic plan, went to premium and now on their platinum plan and it's more than worth the price for me. PicBackMan has saved me many tedious hours of effort moving many files between my various cloud and photo site services and my local computers.

I am very satisfied and surprised at the same time with Pic BackMan. The service is very good and useful. I used it to transfer my photos from Dropbox to my Flickr accound. I highly recomment it.

PicBackMan was an answer to many a prayer. How can I get this MASSIVE collection of photos onto a service that cripples uploading? PicBackMan. I uploaded approximately 85,000 photos in less than a month. It would have taken me close to a year to get all of those photos where they needed to go. Nothing short of brilliant.
Dary MerckensI have thousands of family photos and it's always been such a pain to upload them to various cloud services for offline storage. Well not anymore! PicBackMan makes backing everything up a complete breeze. I don't know how I ever lived without it!
Glen MartineauI was poking around the Internet looking for an easy tool to help me consolidate 15 years of my pictures from Google Photos and Flickr etc - this tool was very easy to use and was painless to setup.
