Backup Utility · 14-day free trial · macOS 15+

Your iCloud is not a backup.

Automatically copy your iCloud Drive files and iCloud Photos originals to a disk you actually own — local, external, or NAS. Set it once and forget it.

The problem

You pay Apple for 200GB–2TB of iCloud. 30,000+ photos, 100GB+ of documents — and your only copy lives on Apple's servers. One account lockout, policy change, or sync bug away from gone. Time Machine doesn't touch iCloud. Carbon Copy Cloner doesn't pull your Photos originals.

How it works

1
Connect your disk
Point it at a local folder, an external SSD, or a NAS share. It remembers and reconnects automatically.
2
It mirrors iCloud
Full-resolution Photos originals and every iCloud Drive file are pulled down and copied — no thumbnails, no gaps.
3
Sleep easy
Automatic backups on a schedule or whenever your drive connects. A diff timeline shows exactly what changed.

What it does

iCloud Drive + Photos originals
Full-resolution Photos originals — not optimized thumbnails — and every iCloud Drive file.
External drive auto-detect
Plug in a USB or Thunderbolt drive and it backs up automatically. NAS over SMB, too.
Diff timeline & version restore
See which files changed and when. Roll back to any earlier version in one click.
On-device, no middleman
Files go straight from iCloud to your disk. Nothing passes through our servers — ever.
