Backup iphone on itunes or icloud?
What's the difference?
which is better?
PROS AND CONS OF EACH
Using iTunes will let you keep different versions of the backup, and it is easy to pull the backups apart and only restore individual pieces which isn't available with iCloud. The downside is they will only be stored on that computer.
Using iCloud keeps your backups on the internet so they will be there even if your computer crashes, but you can only restore from the 1-3 most recent backups.
My solution is to backup my iPhone to my laptop, and then these are included in my laptop's backup.
- Is there a way(without computer)to move my texts from my iPad to my IPhone? ICloud backup? Had to restore phone to last backup and lost texts? Hi, yesterday I had to reset my phone (IPhone 8 plus) to factory default and restore it to its last backup (April 15th). I also have an iPad mini, which everything is Synced. I got everything back on my phone (up to date) except my text messages. I'm not able to access my computer right now and have read you can get them back my backing up you messages to ICloud. Is there anything I can do to get them back on my phone (they are still on my iPad mini), without using my Mac?
- Does iCloud Backup Take up more space then iTunes backup? When I backup my iphone on iCloud it takes up 4.7GB of iCloud Storage. When I backup my iphone on my mac with iTunes it only takes up 2.3Gb Apple webstie says itunes backup will backup your phone exactly as it is and that iCloud only backs up important information. So why does backing my iphone take 4.7GB of iCloud space but backing up my iphone with itunes takes up only 2.3gb of space on my mac?
