I have about 12GB of photos in my iPhoto (09) library. I've tried to use Backup (from the old .mac) to backup the photos to mobileme, but it always fails.
Does anyone know a way to backup my photos to MobileMe? I know I could select all the photos, export them to a folder, zip up, and then upload the zip file, but it seems like it should be easier than that.
TIA,
Charlie
Ugh, I recently tried using the old Backup software, which doesn't seem to work anymore, really. I just wanted files in the Pictures folder of the Finder to be synced with the Pictures folder of my iDisk, etc etc, but Backup created new folders for everything.
I can think of a few ways that you can
kind of do this, that you're probably already aware of, but oh well - I'll just say them anyways! I have a couple of "Shared" albums in the sidebar of iPhoto that automatically sync with MobileMe, where I drag-and-drop photos that I want to have accessible online. I don't do this with all my pictures- usually just the ones I want to share!
For backup, I chose to have a local copy of my iDisk on my computer, which syncs automatically with my online iDisk. For backing up my iPhoto pictures, I choose the iPhoto library in the Finder (under the Pictures folder) and then copy it into my iDisk. I haven't found a way to do this automatically, so I have to remember to do it every week or so. It's annoying and I wish they'd just give us automatic backups of certain files to our iDisks, that would make it so much easier!
