If I back up my MacBook Pro with an external back up storage device, it my ICloud also backing up my McBook Pro, thus backed up in two spots? I have a lot of photos and want to save I Cloud data space.
MacBook Air 13", macOS 10.14
The external hard drive is a backup for your photos, so if you want to turn iCloud Photos syncing off, you can do that and you will still have a backup. You can then go to iCloud.com/Photos using a computer browser and delete the photos in iCloud. If you need the space now, delete the photos from the Recently Deleted album.
iCloud is a syncing system, not a true backup.
