Export iCloud Photo Library (lemm.ee)

Hi, I’m wondering what the best way would be to make a backup of my iCloud Photo Library, consisting of about 60.000 pictures. If I try to export them from my computer, it tries to download them all and I don’t have enough disk space by far.

If you’ve got a server with plenty of space you could run icloudpd: https://github.com/icloud-photos-downloader/icloud_photos_downloader

Thanks, do you happen to know if backing up to an external drive is also possible with this?

Sure, you’d just specify where to download to.
