IPad backups

IPad backups

I am planning on using an IPad for an upcoming trip. We will not have ready access to the internet [ICloud or ITunes] for backing up all of my photos. I am hoping to backup to an external HD. Is this possible and if so how?

You will not be able to use external hard disk for backup.

Suggest you keep your photos on a bunch of SD cards; they are relatively inexpensive nowadays.

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
