I’m an Apple fan, but still don’t like the idea of having all my digital life on iCloud only.
- acheron 3y agoDisclaimer I haven't tried this yet, but I found this project recently that supposedly downloads all iCloud photos (e.g. to a NAS for local backup). https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_downloader https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_do...
- fckgw 3y agoI've been using a version of this for Unraid for over a year. Downloads everything from my iCloud storage to my home server. You need to re-authenticate every 90 days due to 2fa restrictions but it works great.
- BigBalli 3y agoI use Image Capture with my phone plugged in to save them on an external hard drive.
- AnonC 3y agoThis is not for incremental backups but for all data tied to your Apple ID — Apple provides a data download option to get your contacts, photos, videos and a whole lot of other data. You can visit this KB [1] for details and instructions. There are some exclusions, like data that’s end-to-end encrypted.
