Photo Backup: External Drive

Backup photos to an external hard drive, SSD, or USB drive from your iPhone or iPad — without uploading to a TechArm cloud.

Photo Backup: External Drive is built for people who search for offline photo backup, camera roll backup to USB, and an iCloud alternative that keeps files on storage you control.

BACKUP IPHONE PHOTOS TO SSD, USB & HARD DRIVE
Plug in a compatible drive (or pick a folder in the Files app), grant Photos access, and tap Backup. Your photos and videos are copied to the destination you choose — SSD, USB flash drive, external HDD, SD card, and other storage Apple’s Files app can open.

VERIFIED BACKUP — NOT JUST A COPY
Each item is copied, then checked with SHA-256 before it’s marked complete. Ideal if you want reliable photo and video backup you can trust, then restore when you need to.

FREE — NO SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED FOR CORE BACKUP
• Backup Photo Library to SSD / folder destinations
• Backup progress and history
• Restore photos and videos to your library
• No TechArm account
• No Photo Backup cloud storage
• Local-first: we don’t upload your camera roll to TechArm

Works great if you want to transfer photos to an external drive, free up phone storage later with your own copies, or keep an offline backup of important memories.

PHOTO BACKUP PRO (OPTIONAL SUBSCRIPTION)
Some advanced features require Photo Backup Pro — an auto-renewable subscription billed through your Apple ID. Pro is a feature unlock, not a hosted cloud backup plan.

Pro includes:
• NAS photo backup (SMB)
• SFTP & WebDAV backup destinations
• AES-256 vault encryption (key stays on your device)
• Files & document backup from folders you grant
• Backup to multiple destinations
• Local backup reminders
• On-device tools: find duplicate photos, screenshot cleanup, storage analyzer, face grouping, photo search, trip albums, best photo ranking, and auto albums

Cancel anytime in Apple ID → Subscriptions. Free SSD / USB folder backup, restore, and history stay available without Pro.

WHO IT’S FOR
• Backup iPhone photos to hard drive or SSD at home
• Travelers who want offline photo backup on a portable drive
• Anyone avoiding another cloud subscription for media storage
• Users who need NAS / network backup on Pro

PRIVACY
Photos stay under your control on your device and destinations you connect. Face grouping, search, and similar tools run on-device.

NOTE: Drive compatibility depends on your iPhone/iPad, cable, power, and Apple Files support. Always verify important backups, eject drives safely, and keep more than one copy of irreplaceable photos.
