  1. To back up the whole library, simply find the library and copy it to the backup hard drive you use to back up other files.
  2.  The iPhoto Library is located at /Users/yourusername/Pictures/. Open your Finder and select "Go" --> "Home", then Double-Click "Pictures" folder. If you are skilled, press "Shift" + "cmd" + "H" when Finder is active, then access "Picture" Folder and find the iPhoto Library.
  3. Copy the iPhoto Library to the backup hard drive, you can drag & drop it to the destination or burn it on a CD.

Unfortunately,there's no a software that is specified for iPhoto backup.But there are other ways:

1.You can download some applications such as Backup.app(from mac), then make a backup by using it.

2.If you have a extra drive,you can try SuperDuper.It can backup your entire HD imagein in case you run into any troubles.

Hope it help~

The quick and easy way I backup is simply by copying the whole of my "Pictures" folder to an external hard drive. It might not be the most automated system but it is simple and effective.

Connect both Macs using a FireWire cable. On the *new* Mac you want to the files to be on, go to Applications -> Utilites -> Migration Assistant and choose your iPhoto library.

iPhoto is the image browser and editor built in to the Mac OS. It is a very power and easy to use tool, but Leopard and the iLife 08 suite have changed the way iPhoto organizes the files. It is no longer easy to access them in Finder. Here are some ways to find your pictures when you aren't able to drag them from iPhoto itself.
