[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1842189, member: 83420"] Hi David I presume you are running macOS Catalina as you don't mention iTunes, but the Finder? Yes, you can choose what you want to backup. I would strongly advise that you select the "Encrypt" option and tick that box. That, as the name implies, encrypts your data and permits the backup (BU) to include Passwords, health data etc. Then you can choose from the available options to back up "Music", "Photos"; "Films/Videos" and so on. Just go through the list and tick off what you want to BU. Leave blank anything you don't want to BU. Your iCloud BU, again encrypted, backs up your Photo Library, accounts, documents, Home configuration and Settings. No need to BU photos to Mac in that case. I presume you use Time Machine and/or a cloned BU for your Mac anyway? Does this answer your questions? Have I left anything out? Ian [/QUOTE]
