iPhone Data Backup FAQs

How do I back up iPhone using iTunes?

To backup iPhone/iPad using iTunes, just:

1. Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
2. Connect your iPhone to the computer. Tap Trust on your iPhone.
3. Hit the iPhone icon on the top left corner.
4. Go to the Summary tab. Select This Computer and hit Back Up Now to backup iOS devices using iTunes.

What does iCloud backup include?

iCloud only backs up the data on your iOS device. It doesn't back up the data already synced to iCloud, such as Contacts, Calendar, Bookmark, Mail, Voice Memos, iCloud photos, etc. If you've enabled Messages in iCloud, they are not included in your iCloud backup. So iCloud backup includes information like App data, Device Settings, Purchase history, Ringtones, Device Home screen, and App organization, Photos, Homekit configurations, etc.

To enable iCloud backup:

1. Connect your iOS device to a stable Wi-Fi network.
2. Go to Settings, tap iCloud > Backup.
3. Turn on iCloud backup, and tap Back Up Now.

Can I restore only photos from iTunes backup?

Yes, of course. Apple allows us to restore the whole backup to the iPhone, and most unfriendly, it erases all data we stored on the iPhone after the previous backup. So, to restore only photos from iTunes backup, we need the help of a third-party tool, like Dr.Fone - Phone Backup.

To restore only photos from iTunes backup,

1. Launch Dr.Fone on your computer and select Phone Backup.
2. Go to Restore from iTunes backup and select the backup file which stores your photos.
3. Connect your iPhone to the computer. Preview the photos in the iTunes backup and restore them to your iPhone in 1 click.

Can you restore from iCloud without resetting?

The answer is YES. To restore from iCloud backup without resetting, just follow the steps below.

1. Launch Dr.Fone on your computer and go to Backup&Restore.
2. Connect your iPhone to computer using a lightning cable.
3. Select Restore from iCloud backup, and sign in with your iCloud account.
4. Select the iCloud backup file you'd like to restore and hit Download.
5. Preview your iCloud backup file and start to restore iCloud to iPhone without resetting.

Does iTunes backup photos?

Yes, iTunes does back up photos. An iTunes backup includes nearly everything on your iPhone, including your photos, videos, music, your SMS messages, and notes, etc. But it will not back up the following information:

1. Content purchased from iTunes or App Store.
2. Music, photos, videos, books imported by iTunes.
3. Data already synced with iCloud, such as Contacts, iMessages, etc.
4. Face ID or Touch ID.
5. Apple Pay and Health information.
