How to backup iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch

Many important and sensitive data are now stored on smartphones and tablets, which, if lost, could cause various unforeseen events and disappointments. For this reason it is necessary constantly perform security backups. In this article we will focus on the different procedures available for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, taking into consideration both those on a computer and in the cloud.

Back up to iCloud

The most recommended method to back up iOS devices is obviously the one based on using iCloud, capable of generate daily backups in complete autonomy. Great for those who don't want to lose any data. The same procedure will obviously apply to all three mobile devices listed above.

• Open the app "Settings" su iPhone, iPad o iPod Touch
• Click on the account name above
• Continue with "ICloud"
• Select the item “Backup iCloud”

• Activate the toggle to the right of “Backup iCloud”

From this moment on, every time the device is connected to a Wi-Fi network and connected to a power source, a backup will be performed automatically, overwriting the previous one. To create a manual backup instead, you will need to click on "Back up now" on the same screen.

Obviously, the backup will only be performed if there is enough space on the cloud. Otherwise it will be necessary to delete some useless data or perform a paid memory upgrade. To view the available space and understand which data occupies it the most, just complete the following procedure.

• Open the app "Settings" su iPhone, iPad o iPod Touch
• Click on the account name above
• Continue with "ICloud"
• Select the item "Manage space"
