Backup iPhone Using iTunes<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

The most common way to backup your iPhone, is using iTunes to do it. iTunes offers a number of options you can use to backup your iPhone. You can make local backups, store backups on iCloud, and even encrypt your backups in iTunes. If you want to backup your iPhone\u00a0using iTunes, here\u00a0is how you can do it:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Launch iTunes, and connect your iPhone to your Mac, or Windows PC.<\/li>\n
  2. Click the small \u201cphone\u201d icon<\/strong>that appears in iTunes. This will take you to your iPhone\u2019s summary. You can manage a lot of things about your iPhone from this screen. One of those things is\u00a0backing up your iPhone. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\"How<\/li>\n
  3. In the\u201cSummary\u201d<\/strong>section, scroll down to locate the\u00a0\u201cBackups\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0section.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"How<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

    Here you will see a number of different options that you can use to backup your iPhone.<\/p>\n

    1. Automatic iPhone Backups: iCloud<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    This is the first option that is available in the \u201cBackups\u201d section of iTunes. If you select this option, your iPhone will backup\u00a0all your\u00a0most important data to iCloud automatically<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \"How<\/p>\n

    This option is probably the easiest one, and your data will be\u00a0backed up on iCloud, so you can restore it if you ever need to. Keep in mind, though, that this method\u00a0doesn\u2019t backup your passwords<\/strong>, etc. to iCloud. Also, you need to have enough iCloud storage to store the backup.<\/p>\n

    2. Automatic iPhone Backups: Local<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    Local backups are made on your Mac, or Windows machine. These backups\u00a0contain all of the data on your iPhone<\/strong>, and are much more extensive than iCloud backups. If you want to create local backups of your iPhone, you will have to keep your\u00a0iPhone connected to your\u00a0Mac, or Windows PC. iTunes will then automatically backup your iPhone. Even on local backups, iTunes\u00a0doesn\u2019t backup your passwords, and personal data<\/strong>\u00a0such as that from HealthKit. If you want your passwords to get backed up, as well, there is an option for that, too.<\/p>\n

    \"How<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

    You\u00a0might have noticed another option, that says \u201cEncrypt\u00a0iPhone Backup<\/strong>\u201c. This option will encrypt your iPhone backups that you make on your laptop.\u00a0You will be asked to create a password to encrypt and decrypt the iPhone backup. Encrypting a backup means that unless someone enters the password to decrypt it,\u00a0the backup will not yield any information to a hacker. Which is why, encrypted backups are the only ones in which iTunes\u00a0saves your passwords, and personal data<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    \"How<\/p>\n

    So, if you really want to backup your passwords, etc. You should go with the encrypted backups.<\/p>\n

    Note<\/u><\/em><\/strong>:\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>If you\u00a0make encrypted backups, make sure that you keep your encryption password safely. Without this password, you won\u2019t be able to use the\u00a0backup, either.<\/p>\n

    3. Manual iPhone Backup<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    The third option for backing up your iPhone, is a manual backup.\u00a0You can choose this option if you don\u2019t want iTunes, or your iPhone to decide when it should backup your data. Manual backup\u00a0always makes backups\u00a0locally<\/strong>, that is, on your Mac, or Windows PC. If you want a manual backup, you will have to keep your iPhone connected to\u00a0iTunes while it backs up.<\/p>\n

    \"How<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

    There are two options under the manual backup section. You can use the \u201cBack Up Now<\/strong>\u201d option to\u00a0backup your data, and the \u201cRestore Backup<\/strong>\u201d option to restore your iPhone using a previous backup that you have on your laptop.<\/p>\n

    Set Up iCloud Backup without iTunes<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    If you dislike iTunes, and don\u2019t want to use it as long as it\u2019s avoidable, then there is another way that you can set up backups for your iPhone. However,\u00a0if you use this method, your backups will only be saved to iCloud. If you want to set up iCloud backups on your iPhone, here is how you can do it:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. InSettings,<\/strong>go to\u00a0iCloud.<\/strong>\u00a0Here, scroll down, and tap on\u00a0\u201cBackup\u201d<\/strong>. \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\"How<\/li>\n
    2. Simply toggle the\u201ciCloud Backup\u201d<\/strong>button, to turn it on.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      That\u2019s basically it, your iPhone will now automatically backup to iCloud, whenever it is locked, plugged in, and connected to a Wi-Fi network. If you want, you can force your\u00a0iPhone to backup to iCloud, by tapping on the \u201cBack Up Now<\/strong>\u201d button.<\/p>\n[ad type=”banner”]\n

      Use these Methods to Make an\u00a0iPhone Backup<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

      You can use any of the methods mentioned above to backup iPhone\u2019s data. I can\u2019t stress this enough \u2013 make backups. All the time. You never know when you might accidentally delete something, or end up losing your iPhone. Having a backup is\u00a0an important safe-guard against these scenarios, and is precisely why Apple has\u00a0made it so easy to backup iPhones. So, go ahead, and backup your data.<\/p>\n
