[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1937629, member: 131855"] I just finished watching a video with someone backing up some iPad files to an external drive without a computer. [MEDIA=youtube]yIglt_P4v6o[/MEDIA] Here are two things to keep in mind that I noticed the last time I looked into this: 1. Not all external USB drives work with all models of iPads. 2. There are some flash drives that have multiple connections on them but I'm not sure how reliable they are. If your iPad has a lightning connection instead of USB C, it's probably best to just get a lightning-to-USB adapter.. 3. The price of SSDs has dropped recently but some of the cheaper drives are complete garbage. Purchase from somewhere with a good return policy. I don't know if it is possible to use this method to essentially "clone" the iPad including the OS. That would be ideal for you. [/QUOTE]
