The two most common ways to backup an iPhone are to use special functions iTunes and iCloud. Each of them has its own disadvantages and advantages.
However, in both cases, the basic data will be saved, and it is up to you to judge the best option.
In the future, backups will be created automatically when the phone is charging and wi-fi is connected.
To restore data on a new device, you just need to enter your Apple ID and password, after which the last backup saved in the cloud will valiantly migrate to your iPhone. If the device is already configured, you will need to erase all contents - this is the first and mandatory step. After this, follow the instructions that appear (for more details, see the article “”) for setting up until the “Programs and Data” screen appears; there you need to select “Recover from iCloud copies" Sign in and select the appropriate backup (note the date and size).
Perhaps during the copying process a window will appear asking you to install the latest iOS - complete it. Next, you need to log into your Apple ID account, which will allow you to restore all purchased programs and materials. The duration of the procedure varies widely: recovery takes from five minutes to several hours.
Then, to create a backup, click create a copy now.
If you want to save your information from the Health, Activity programs, then select the “encrypt backup” option. 
Once the copying is complete, you can see the result of the process in the Browse screen in iTunes.Please note the dating and size of the copies. Click "Restore" and wait for the data recovery procedure to complete.
The above methods, based on iTunes and iCloud services, are not the only options for copying information. There are a lot of programs focused on similar activities, but in fact they are in no way superior to the above options. That is why it seems quite natural to “discard” them: we did not analyze such utilities in detail.
In order to ensure the maximum level of reliability, it is recommended to create copies in both iCloud and iTunes - then you can be sure that the information will be saved.
Good luck!

It may happen that in case of serious problems with the operating system, you will not be able to boot the operating system in normal or in safe mode. Then you will have to use a Windows 7 installation disk, or a bootable USB flash drive with an operating system image recorded on it, to restore the system.
Boot Windows flash drive can be created using specialized programs, reviews of which you can read on my website in the "Programs" section.
In your absence installation disk with Windows 7 operating system, you should create a system repair disc. The recovery disk, which contains the recovery environment, can be used to boot the computer.
This system recovery disc contains recovery tools for the Windows operating system, using which you can restore the operating system after a serious error, or restore the system from a created system image.
For those users who have pre-installed operating systems on their computer, create boot disk System recovery is simply necessary. Computer manufacturers now often do not include a Windows installation disc with them. In this case, an emergency system recovery disk will help boot the computer to restore it if it is not possible to boot in any other way.
In the "Backup and Restore" window, you must click on the item "Create a system recovery disc" to create an emergency system recovery disc. In this case, you will have a rescue CD for system recovery in case of serious problems with the operating system.
After clicking on the item "Create a system recovery disk", the window "Create a recovery disk" opens. To create a system recovery disc, you need to insert an empty CD or DVD disc into the optical disc drive, and then click on the "Create disc" button.
Next comes the process of creating a system recovery disk. After completing the creation of the emergency recovery disk, you need to click on the "OK" button. Rescue disk Windows recovery 7 takes up about 150 MB.
You will now be able to access system recovery options using a bootable recovery disk if it is not possible to boot your computer using other methods.
To boot your computer from a rescue or installation disk, you will need to select in the BIOS the priority of booting from a CD/DVD reader, and if you use bootable flash drive With USB drive, to which such a bootable flash drive is connected.
If, when creating a recovery disc, you are prompted to insert an installation disc with the Windows 7 operating system, this means that the necessary files to create a system recovery disc were not found. In this case you will need to paste into optical drive computer installation DVD disc with Windows 7 operating system.
Using the installation Windows disk 7 or a rescue system recovery disk, you will be able to boot into your computer and have access to all operating system recovery options.
If you select “Create a system image” in the “Backup and Restore” window, then a system image will be created for its recovery, which includes copies of the disks necessary for the operation of the Windows operating system. You can include in the system image additional disks and use it for recovery in case of problems. However, you cannot use individual elements for recovery.
In the "Create a system image" window, you will need to select a location to store the backup.
In the “Create a system image” window, you will need to select the disks that you want to include in the backup. In this case, it will not be possible to add the disk on which the backup copy will be saved. Then click on the “Next” button.
In the new "Create a system image" window, you will need to confirm the archiving parameters and backup location. After that, click on the “Archive” button.
Now let's move on to the archiving and backup settings. In the “Backup and Restore Files” window, click on the “Set up backup” item.
Next, the “Archiving Settings” window opens. You will have to wait some time while data archiving starts. You will see the message “Starting data archiving” in the window, but the archiving itself is not yet happening.
Then the “Archive Settings” window opens. In this window, you must select a location to store the backup archive.
The best option for storing the system backup being created would be external hard disk. Because if you back up your copies on another partition of your computer's hard drive, then if the hard drive fails, then the operating system, your data, and the backups created for recovery will be lost forever. The data, in this case, is physically located on one hard drive, they are only located on different logical drives.
This image shows that the system itself suggested a storage location for me - an external hard drive, with enough space to create a backup copy.
In the Archive Settings window, you will need to select what to archive.
If provided Windows selection, the operating system will archive files saved in standard folders, in libraries, on the Desktop, and will also create a system image that will allow you to restore your computer in case of problems. All your data and settings will be archived, and you can restore your system from a backup if necessary.
In this case, you can select specific drives and select individual folders located on the selected drive. Be sure to check the box next to “Include disk system image: (C:)” so that you have the opportunity, if necessary, to restore the system from the created backup copy.
The data you select will be archived according to a schedule unless you start archiving manually. After completing the selection of objects for archiving, click on the “Next” button.
In the archiving settings window, you need to check the archiving settings again, and then click on the “Save settings and start archiving” button.
Before starting the backup, you can click on the "Change schedule" link to select your schedule or perform backups on demand.
If you do not perform archiving according to a schedule, but manually when you need it, then you will need to uncheck the box next to “Run archiving on a schedule (recommended)” and then click on the “OK” button.
Next, you will need to start archiving. The time it takes to create a backup will depend on the size of the disks and files that will be backed up, as well as the power of your computer. Repeated backups will be faster because only files that have changed since the previous backup will be overwritten.
Please remember that if you set up a scheduled backup, the external hard drive must be connected to your computer at the time. If you do backups without a specific schedule, then the best option Archiving will take place approximately once a month. In this case, you will retain the system settings that you made relatively recently.
Important data that you change frequently will need to be backed up more than once a month to always have an up-to-date backup version for recovery.
Sometimes, it is necessary to disable archiving if you have set up scheduled backups, and the disk where you save the backups runs out of free space. In this case, you will need to disable scheduled backups.
To do this, you will need to go to the “Start” menu => “Control Panel” => “Administration” => “Services”. In the "Services" window, you need to find the item "Block-level backup engine service (WBENGINE service is used to perform backup and restore operations)."
To disable automatic archiving, you must change the service startup type from “Automatic” to “Manual”. To do this, you need to click right click click on the “Automatic” item and select the “Properties” item in the context menu.
In the “Properties: Block-level archiving module service” window that opens, in the “General” tab, in the “Startup type” item, select “Manual” and click on the “OK” button. Next you will need to restart your computer. Now you can run the backup manually at your discretion.
If you are annoyed by messages that appear from time to time about the need to configure archiving from the Notification Panel (tray), then such messages can be disabled. To do this, go to the Start menu => Control Panel => Action Center. In the “Support Center” window, in the “Maintenance” field, in the “Archiving settings” item, you must click on the link “Do not receive any more messages on the topic: “about Windows archiving.”

Backing up your iPhone and iPad is extremely important. Regular creation copies of all mobile device data allows you to secure them as much as possible, as well as be able to restore the gadget in case of theft, loss, breakdown or replacement. Most iPhone and iPad users are aware of this and create copies of their devices from time to time. However, recent polls in our group "In contact with" showed that the percentage of people who know about the need to create backups is still far from 100. That is why we wrote this guide, which is extensive and covers various methods for creating backup copies of iPhone and iPad, including non-standard ones.
So, what is a backup and why is it needed? To put it most plain language, then a backup is all the data from your iPhone stored on your computer or in cloud storage in encrypted form. A backup copy is needed in order to restore, if necessary, any previously existing iPhone data. Restoration may be needed in a variety of cases, but most often with:
Obviously, if you value the data of your iPhone, even if it is not gigabytes of unique photos, but “only” a contact book, it is imperative to make a backup copy of the device. You can create it in three main ways, which we described below. However, before moving on to them, let’s clarify what exactly is saved in the backup copy.
Both iTunes and iCloud create backups with the following content:
You most likely noticed that the copy does not include the applications themselves, but only information about them and their settings. For this approach, thanks should be said to Apple, because, otherwise, the backups would grow to indecent sizes. Now to the methods.
The first way is using cloud service iCloud. It involves creating a backup copy of data from an iPhone or iPad without using wires. All information in this case is stored on servers Apple, in a highly encrypted form, so you should not worry about the safety of data.
Backing up your iPhone or iPad to iCloud is not for everyone. The fact is that only 5 GB is available for free on iCloud. If the size of the data being backed up exceeds this amount, iOS will issue a warning that the backup cannot be created.
Please note that to back up your iPhone or iPad to iCloud, you must have active connection to Wi-Fi.
Settings» → iCloud → « Backup copy" On devices running iOS 10.3 or later new version Software, iCloud section can be found by going to the management page account, which is located at the very top of the list of parameters (above “ Airplane mode»).
Step 2: Activate the switch " iCloud backup" Enabling the function will result in a message indicating that the mobile device will no longer be backed up on the computer. Click " OK».
Step 3: Wait for the backup feature to turn on.
Step 4: Connect your iPhone or iPad to a power source, to Wi-Fi, and lock it. The backup will start automatically.
Like this in a simple way The function of backing up your iPhone or iPad to iCloud is enabled. It is important to note that the process of creating a copy of iOS begins only if the gadget is charging, has a Wi-Fi connection and is locked. However, it is not necessary to fulfill all the requirements for creating a copy in iCloud, you can force the system to make a backup.
Step 1: On iPhone or iPad, go to the menu Settings» → iCloud → « Backup copy».
Step 2: Click " Create a backup" at the bottom of the page. Creation of the copy will begin immediately.
One point worth noting here too. No notification that your backup was successfully created iOS devices won't do it. You can verify the success of the operation yourself by going to the menu “ Settings» → iCloud → « Backup copy" There will also be displayed information about how much time is left before the end of the copy, if it is still being created.
The size of an iPhone or iPad backup to iTunes is only limited by the amount of storage on your computer. If your mobile device has a lot of data, for example, entire collections of photos and videos, then, of course, it should be backed up through iTunes.
Step 1: Connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer using USB cable and launch iTunes. If iTunes is not installed on your computer, download current version you can on official Apple website .
Step 2: Select your device in the iTunes window.
Step 3: On the "" tab Review" (opens by default) check the box " This computer».
Step 4: Click " Create a copy now» to start backing up your iPhone or iPad. Before doing this, you can activate the option " Encrypt local copy» to set a password for the backup. The main thing after this is not to forget the specified password, since in this case, recovery from the copy will be impossible. 
Step 5: Wait for the backup to complete. The mobile device cannot be disconnected from the computer during the procedure. Please note that creating a copy can take quite a long time, especially if a lot of content is saved on your device.
As you can see, creating a backup in iTunes is also not difficult. In addition to iTunes, various third-party applications can help with creating a backup.
This function is offered by most modern file managers For mobile devices Apple, but, unfortunately, almost all of them are paid. There are two free and tested options by us: iTools And iMazing .
Let us say right away that in general these programs are not ideal. Latest Versions iTools, although Russified, but during installation they show an unpleasant window with a message on Chinese. There is nothing dangerous about this, but it is very scary for users. iMazing, in turn, reveals all its functionality only upon purchase full version. However, it is the iPhone and iPad backup function that we are interested in that is also available in free version iMazing.
Why backup your iPhone at all? third party applications? There is really no urgent need to create them. However, many users want to keep important files, such as memorable photos and videos, extra secure. And for these purposes they help alternative ways creating backups.
The process for creating a backup in any of these tools is the same. Let's look at the operation using the example of the completely free iTools utility.
Step 1. Download iTools from official website of the program and unpack the archive with the utility.
Step 2: Launch iTools and connect your iPhone or iPad to your computer. iTunes must be installed on your computer, otherwise iTools will not be able to detect the device.
Step 3: Once the iPhone or iPad shows up in iTools, go to the " Tools». 
Step 4: Click " Backup».
Step 5. In the window that opens, check the boxes for the types of content that should be saved in the backup copy and click “ Further».
Step 6. Wait for the content to be identified and click " Launch" You can first select the folder in which the backup will be saved by clicking " Change».
Once the backup process is complete, you can check the result. You'll notice that unlike iCloud and iTunes, iTools doesn't encrypt files in any special way. This makes it possible to access the same photos from your iPhone or iPad without using additional utilities.
How to restore backup data on iPhoneWe've sorted out creating backups, now let's look at an equally important process iPhone recovery and iPad of them. Restoring iOS devices from iCloud and iTunes is possible if they initial setup, or after full reset. The user is only required to follow the steps in the system's starting manual. Selecting the recovery type (or settings if the device is new) must be done on the “ iPhone setup».
It is quite obvious that if you have previously created a backup copy in iCloud, then you should select the “ Recover from iCloud copy" Everything is the same with a copy in iTunes, to restore from which you will have to select “ Recover from iTunes copy", then connect the gadget to the computer and launch iTunes.
Backups can take up a lot of space, both in iCloud and on your computer. Backups that have become unnecessary, of course, need to be deleted, freeing up precious space. Fortunately, this is done very simply, both in iCloud and in iTunes.
Step 1. Go to menu " Settings» → iCloud.
Step 2. Select " Storage» → « Control».
Step 3. In the section " Backups» select the device copy you want to delete.
Step 4. Wait for the backup to be identified and click " Delete copy».
Step 5: Confirm deletion.

Step 2. Go to menu " Edit» → « Settings».
Step 3. Select the settings section " Devices».
Step 4: Select the backup you want to delete and click the " Delete backup».
