How to backup

Hello,


I have uploaded all my photos (more than 10.000) in iCloud and I really like the service. I am wondering what is the best way to keep a backup of the library, should something happen.


Can anyone please advise a suggestion?


Thanks for helping,

dan

So I just need to backup the iCloud library that I find in the Photos directory?

Exactly. Back up the Photos Library.photoslibrary. By default it will be in the folder "Pictures" in your home folder. The name of the "Pictures" folder may be different, depending on the primary system language of your Mac. In some languages it is called "Fotos" or "Imagines" or "Bilder" or similar.
