What is really considered a backup?! In this video I walk through my process of how I backup my iCloud Photos by using a computer and having it automatically download all of the original photos to an external hard drive and copied to my Time Machine. I also talk about a few cloud options as alternatives in addition to flash drives made by Sandisk that are specifically designed to backup your photos from your iPhone or iPad without the need to have a computer at all!
