Backup IPhoto

Go to Users/yourusername/Pictures and copy your iPhoto library to your backup media, by simple drag'n'drop or using a a backup software. I'd use Synk Pro for it, but Synk Backup would probably be fully sufficient. And a lot of other software will do this as well.
 
How to install the backup data in another Mac? It is simple?
To really be able to use the data there, you would have to run the same version of iPhoto (or a newer one) on the computer where you want to copy the backup to. If there is no iPhoto library on the target computer yet, simply copy the original library into the same location (ie, Users/yourusername/Pictures). If an iPhoto library already exists on the target, just copy the library anywhere and start-up iPhoto with the alt key pressed down. From there you can select to open the copied library.
