ICloud backups include nearly all data and settings stored on your device. You don’t need to plug your device into a computer or even be at home to back up with iCloud. ICloud backupsWith a Wi-Fi network connection, you can make a backup of your device using iCloud.
It is worth reading About backups for iPhone, iPad One aspect to be aware of: I don't think anything does a *total* backup. There is also a backup application called Transmac. I have Acronis, but I only use that for PC backups, which does go to the NAS, and have not used it for the iOS devices. iMazing is very quick and takes about 1-2 minutes per device. On the 1st of each month I use iMazing on my PC for my iPad and our two iPhones, although I have to admit for the moment they are not currently going to the NAS they will do shortly and it is quite simple to change storage location. I have read that this is not so easy to do with Time Machine, and so I'm hoping that whatever device backup solution is proposed can then have its files backup via Snapshot Replication. Once the data is pulled off of his devices onto the NAS, I'll then use something like Snapshot Replication to backup that info to a second volume as well as an off-site NAS.
I'm basically looking for an icloud-like experience without the icloud. I had initially planned on using Time Machine, but some discussions in previous threads have lead me to believe the Time Machine isn't really a true backup? Is this accurate, I know almost nothing about Apple? If Time Machine isn't really a good backup in the same sense that AB4B is, what solution should I be using? I've seen iMazing mentioned as a solution, is iMazing equivalent to AB4B on the PC side?ĭad is very used to the whole Apple environment, so I'm hoping to find a solution that is as much all-in-one as possible for his device backup. What is the method for backing up my dad's network of mac laptops, ipads, and iphones? We are moving all of his data and photo storage off the icloud onto his NAS if possible. I've asked versions of this question before, but I want to narrow in on the apple-specific side of things.
