PhotoVideoBackup: SSD Transfer

iPhone / Photo et vidéo

PhotoVideoBackup transfers your photos and videos from your iPhone
directly to an external SSD over USB-C fast, private, and offline.

No cloud. No subscription. No middleman.


WHY PHOTOVIDEOBACKUP?

Most backup solutions send your files to a cloud server you don't
control. PhotoVideoBackup sends them straight to your drive. Your
memories stay yours.


HOW IT WORKS

1. Plug in your USB-C SSD
2. Select the destination folder once
3. Tap Backup — done

Access is preserved across launches via secure bookmarks. You never
have to pick the folder again.

Quoi de neuf dans la dernière version ?

| Version | Build | Date | Type | Description |
|---------|-------|------------|---------|-------------|
| 2.1.5 | 37 | 2026-06-02 | Improvement | Onboarding redesigned: setup diagram replaced by a swipeable carousel of 4 scenarios (Simple, Hub, iCloud + SSD, Advanced multi-SSD); new feature bullets for batch rename and iCloud Drive destination. |
| 2.1.4 | 36 | 2026-06-02 | Bug fix | Multi-SSD fixes: (1) copy was going to only one SSD even with both connected — `startAccessingSecurityScopedResource()` returning false on iOS for the second SSD was silently filtering it out; now all resolved destinations are kept regardless of return value, actual write errors are caught by the engine. (2) SHA-256 deduplication was skipping files on SSD2 when they existed on SSD1 — dedup now requires every destination root to have the file. (3) Mid-backup disconnection detection: `streamCopy` now handles per-destination write failures — on disconnection the destination is dropped and copying continues on remaining SSDs; if all SSDs disconnect the backup stops cleanly with `[DISC_ERROR]` in the diagnostic log. (4) Report redesigned for multi-destination sessions: summary shows Copied/Skipped/Failed per SSD; file detail is a single unified list with a coloured per-SSD status indicator (green = copied, orange = skipped, red = failed/disconnected). |
| 2.1.3 | 35 | 2026-06-02 | Bug fix | Fixed: second SSD connected via powered USB hub could appear as "Not connected" even when physically plugged in. Two root causes fixed: (1) destinations are now re-checked 800 ms after launch, matching the existing retry logic for external sources — handles the case where iOS hasn't fully mounted both volumes yet; (2) eliminated double bookmark resolution in `refreshDestinationStatuses()` (was resolving each bookmark twice in quick succession, which could cause the second volume to be missed). |
| 2.1.2 | 34 | 2026-06-02 | Improvement | Documentation link added in Settings → Support: opens the GitHub Pages documentation site in Safari. URL centralised in `AppConstants.documentationURL`. |
| 2.1.1 | 33 | 2026-06-02 | Bug fix | Localization fix: "Pattern" and "Tap a token to insert it. Anything else is literal text." in the batch rename sheet were missing translations — added FR, DE, ES, IT, PT, ZH-Hans, RU. |
