First time out, so bear with me please!
I run an old Macmini (Circa2007 - running OSX 10.7.5) which currently houses all of my photos (and some music), which I really need to get backed up somewhere pronto!
This has been prompted by some concerns over the hard drive, which at best is running slower than before and might be in the early stages of failing - or has simply run out of horse power.......
I see my immediate options as either using Time Machine to create a back up on the disk, or more likely, purchasing 50gb of storage on icloud - which should cover both my iphoto library (V09 8.1.2) and music.
Having had an initial look at doing this, it seems rather 'involved' - particularly with regard to the various 'versions' of Apple software that could be required to achieve my objective!
I accept that I may have to upgrade (and even pay for) some software, but would appreciate a clear response from someone who can provide me with an 'end to end' solution for my requirement.
Thank you
