Hi, I’m wondering what the best way would be to make a backup of my iCloud Photo Library, consisting of about 60.000 pictures. If I try to export them from my computer, it tries to download them all and I don’t have enough disk space by far.

Somewhere in the online privacy settings you can download a copy of your data. There you can select photos and then tell it to break it up into archives of max sizes, say 2gb each. Then just download and upload piecewise.
