(https://www.lifewire.com/backup-photos-or-iphoto-library-2260760)
- You can manually back up the image libraries used by Photos or iPhoto to an external drive, including a USB flash drive, or you can use a backup application to perform the task for you. Start with manually making a copy.
- The Photos or iPhoto Library is located at: /Users/username/Pictures
- To get there, double-click the icon for your hard drive to open it, and then double-click the Users folder. Double-click your Home folder, which is identified by a house icon and your username, and then double-click the Pictures folder to open it.
- You can also just open a Finder window and select Pictures from the sidebar. Inside the Pictures folder, you'll see a file called either Photos Library or iPhoto Library (you may have both if you're using both apps).
- Copy the Photos Library or iPhoto Library file to a location other than your hard drive, such as an external drive.
- Repeat this process whenever you import new photos into Photos or iPhoto, so you'll always have a current backup of each library.
- Note: If you've created multiple iPhoto libraries, be sure to back up each iPhoto Library file.
