TurtleBackup vs Markever

Easily backup files from memory cards to external drive (like USB flash drive) or to internal storage. Combined with a compatible USB hub / card reader, it’s a simple and lightweight photo backup solution for travel / short trips.  Has 4 main features: Check, Backup, Integrity check, History.  "Check" gives a brief overview / size estimate, and also confirms whether basic conditions (e.g. available space) are met.  "Backup" copies files from source to destination. You have 3 options regarding folder structure on destination: • use original (same as source) folder structure • group files into folders by file creation date (YYYY-MM-DD, example: 2026-02-10/DSC_5555.JPG) or • group files by file creation date and type (YYYY-MM-DD/type, example: 2026-02-10/JPG/DSC_5555.JPG) There's also a filter feature - you can exclude files created before certain date (e.g. if you want to skip files created before the trip, but don't want to delete them from source). Incremental backup is supported as well - matching existing files are skipped, if size (and file creation time, depending on selected setting) is the same. Also, if you're using same backup source / destination each time, app will remember and pre-select them on startup, so in ideal scenario, backup can be performed just by clicking couple of buttons. "Integrity check" is optional, compares checksums of corresponding files from source folder to the ones in the destination folder. "History" is optional (can be enabled via settings) - saves (locally) basic statistics (date, number of files, etc.) about performed backups, which you can review later. App doesn't need a network connection and does not support backup to network locations (cloud etc.).

Have you ever deleted photos to free up space — certain they were safely backed up — and later found them gone for good? It's heartbreakingly common, and it comes down to one thing most people don't realize: syncing your photos is not the same as backing them up. When photos sync to the cloud, the cloud mirrors your library — so deleting a photo on your phone removes it from the cloud too. A true backup keeps a protected copy your deletions can't touch. That's the piece that's been missing. Markever is that backup. It quietly keeps a protected copy of every photo and video, one that stays even after you delete the original. Wipe your library to free space, delete something by accident, lose your phone: your memories are still safe, and one tap brings them back. WHY MARKEVER • Deletion-proof — your copy stays even after you delete the original • Photos & videos — your whole library, backed up automatically • Restore anytime — bring anything back, with no duplicates • Recover in bulk — restore everything, or a whole month, at once • Choose what to protect — everything, photos only, or just your favorites • Private — your photos never leave your Apple account, and we never see them HOW IT WORKS Sign in with Apple, grant photo access, and you're protected. Markever keeps a protected copy of your originals safe in your own Apple account, so deleting a photo from your library never removes the backup. Your photos never leave your Apple account, we never see them. Privacy Policy: https://markever.app/privacy.html Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
