A friend of mine recently had her iPhone stolen from her car while at a gas station. She was on vacation with her family and this created a huge problem for her because she has her own business and all of her business contacts were stored in her phone.
When she told me about this she said that getting her new iPhone set up had been a nightmare because she had lost a great deal of her contacts and many of her apps. She still struggling to recover them. I asked her if she had backed her previous iPhone up to the iCloud and she kind of gave me a blank look and then said no.
I did not bother to say well had you done so you would’ve gone through all of this because that just seem to be kind of mean. But I did realize at that moment how important having a current back up is. This is why I’m posting this thread. I’m wondering how many people do regular back ups and how many people don’t. And I’m also wondering about whether or not people know how to do this.
I have all of my devices set up for automatic back ups. When I forget to do is to go in periodically and check to make sure that it is taking place! I just checked my phone before writing us and happily I had a back up done last evening!
Of course there are other ways to back up your device and I’m sure that it would be appreciated if you would share that as well. Tell me if you back up your devices on a regular basis, or if you have them scheduled automatically, or if you have another procedure. If you don’t don’t be ashamed! Hopefully this will encourage you to begin doing so.
