Simple ways to create a backup iPhone

Users of Apple products sometimes face such a problem as the loss of personal data from their devices. It arises either because of misuse, or because of some other reasons. The issue is not very fundamental. That's why users need to know how to create an iPhone backup to keep their data safe. Manipulating is not so difficult as it might seem at first glance.

What is a backup

Back in 2007, there was such a function. Together with the release of the first iPhone. Before you make a backup copy of iPhone, you should understand what it is. First of all, it's a way to keep your personal data intact, regardless of whether the Apple device is working. That is, even if the smartphone is lost or broken, the data from it remain in the company's system, and they can then be extracted without problems.

Possible options

There are only a few ways to create a backup iPhone. And the easiest is the simplest synchronization of the device with a personal computer when connecting one with the other. This is done through an official program called iTunes. Every iPhone owner should install it on the computer, since without it the functionality of the device can be very limited.

The use of "tuna"

This is how advanced users of "apple" products call the program. So how do I make a backup copy of the iPhone in "Aityuns"? To get started, you need to download the latest version of the program to your PC. After that, you need to connect your gadget with a cable to the corresponding connector. Running the program, it is necessary to agree with permission to access this particular computer to the device. It is noteworthy that since the version of iTunes 10.0.1, the query is displayed automatically. If you do not give access, then the program simply does not work. Then the backup will start automatically, nothing is required from the user. Synchronization takes a long time, especially if the gadget's memory contains a large number of files, applications and other important personal data.

Obsolete versions and devices

Unfortunately, not every "apple" smartphone starts automatic copying. Therefore, it is worthwhile to know and other ways of how to create a backup copy of iPhone on your computer. The process does not cause any difficulties, however, the buttons will have to be pressed several times more than in the method described above.

IPhone 5 and 5s

Of course, these versions are not the most outdated, but are at the moment the most popular. Therefore, before you make a backup copy of iPhone 5, you need to enable iTunes, connect the gadget. Then select the sub-item "Browse" in the menu of your device (it is displayed in the sidebar). It is here that you can set the synchronization conditions. In the "Backups" section, all manipulations are performed. For example, you can choose where this copy will be stored: on the computer or in the cloud storage iCloud. The latter option is preferable in that it gives access to data from any device to the owner, if he correctly enters his login and password from the account. After selecting the storage location, you only need to press the "Create a copy now" button. After that, the synchronization process will start. Additionally, you can encrypt data by setting a password. This is usually required in cases where the necessary files are really very important and valuable. And, of course, you should remember this password in order to have access to the data.

Tip

Before you make a backup copy of iPhone 5S or any other, you should set the parameters. That is, choose which data will be synchronized. By default, the following data is saved:

• notes;
• contacts;
• Passwords;
• Bookmarks in the browser "Safari";
• Browser settings ;
• All messages;
• Network settings for access to the network;
• An account in the gaming center;
• Photo;
• Accounts in applications that are built-in by default;
• Events in the calendar;
• alarm clock;
• wallpaper;
• purchases.

But the installed applications, unfortunately, are not included in this list. Therefore, they should be synchronized separately. It's quite simple to do this: you just need to transfer your purchases. In "File" there is a podcast "Devices". It is enough to select the button "Transfer purchases from iPhone". After that, synchronization will start, which will take quite a long time, if there are a large number of applications. Now, even if the device is lost, the data can always be recovered from the hard drive of the computer.

ICloud

There is another quick and easy way to create a backup iPhone. In this case, the computer is no longer needed. You can conduct all the manipulations directly from the phone. You must enter the device settings by selecting iCloud. In the section there is a category "Backup copies". It is required to translate the gray indicator in the column "Copy to iCloud" to make it green. Then you need to press the lower key. It is called "Copy now." Everything, after that, important data will be transferred to the Apple server. It is noteworthy that they can be viewed by employees of the company, if the government demands them from them in the presence of arguments. However, this happens very rarely. The last copy, or rather the time of its creation, is always displayed on the device in the iCloud panel. By periodically synchronizing, you can save all important data in case the phone breaks, is lost or stolen.
