Yes, just use Time Machine

All files of the iCloud drive are also on your Mac, so they get saved when executing Time Machine. Hourly.

    You can not install Windows 7 on an external drive. Windows 7 requires that install you it on an attached storage device internally. What you can do is to back up your current installation of Windows 7 on a hard drive external. Install a new hard drive, then restore the backup of this drive. To learn more:

    Just to be clear, iCloud backup & iCloud drive are essentially two separate things.

    This can be useful, iCloud is primarily a service synchronization. Means that it can take the changes you make on one device and other devices to update this change if you do not have to be done individually on each device. Useful if you have more device. iCloud Drive is the term used for the part of iCloud that can synchronize files between your devices, just like Dropbox. iCloud backup is the backup of live data to iCloud part. Sync services aren't backups, just a way for your data reach another device.

    On your iPhone, if you go to:

    Settings > general > Srorage & use iCloud > manage storage (under iCloud) > [phone] (BACKUPS)

    You can see what data is stored for each application (Tap 'Show all Apps' if necessary).

  • Why finder hide Documents and office files in the home directory of the user by activating iCloud drive? What about the behavior of Time Machine backup or third-party applications?

    I'm under MacOS Sierra. I am connected to my iCloud account. I activated the option Desktop and Documents, but I did NOT activate the option optimize Mac storage, because I wanted to make sure that all my files would be available locally, just in case, I would need to work without an internet connection.

    -J' noticed there now a menu iCloud in my sidebar in the Finder, with links to Documents and desktop.

    -J' also noticed that Documents is no longer presented in my favorites in my side bar of the Finder.

    -This last suggests that files saved in 'Documents' are not saved more on my HD... but only in iCloud, which isn't what I want.

    -Then, sailing in the Finder Macintosh HD/users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are more visible, as if these files are not saved in my home folder most. Which raises the question: where are My Documents and files on my HD, so they are still?

    -Using a shell session in the terminal and again navigate to/Users / 'My account' /, I noticed that my Documents and desktop folders are still there. Which suggest that records and records of office reside actually still in my home folder under users, but Finder actually hide it and present them as being stored in iCloud only disc. It's very confusing.

    This raises several questions:

    -In the first place, why Apple hide Documents and office files in the directory? Why not view these folders in iCloud and directory?

    -Whence the iCloud folder or drive, reside actually on my hard drive?

    -What time Machine. Is it still back up my document files and folders?

    -What games third-party app mirroring backup of My Documents files and folders? They still work properly? (I use Livedrive backup and Sugarsync for files mirrored across several macs).

    -How can I understand that Apple is doing with my folders and files? Some users might be happy with the iCloud drive concept, without worrying about how it works, but I don't take chances, and I want to keep a good understanding about the functioning of my system.

    Could someone explain what is exactly happening?

    With office and selected Documents, access to these files are now in the iCloud Drive, not in your home folder.

    My guess would be that they do not appear in your file because it would be confusing for many people to make them in two places.

    If you want in the Favorites, open iCloud Drive and drag them in the sidebar here.

    All about iCloud drive has been saved on your Mac. With the exception of the office and the Documents, they are in ~/Library/Mobile Documents. However, if you choose optimized storage, older documents are removed from your Mac. I don't know what is "old".

    ~/Documents and ~/desktop have new metadata indicating probably Finder does not display them in a Finder window, only in iCloud drive. They are not hidden in one of the normal methods of unix.

    I have not tested Time Machine or any other backup program. The folder still exist in your directory home, and they still have all the files, I don't think that changes anything.

  • If I install the iCloud drive on my laptop and remove this app from my iphone due to the lack of storage, to lose all the data that I saved in there?

    If I install icloud drive in my laptop where all my important data is saved and uninstall the app from my iphone icloud drive, my data is secure?

    A couple of things...

    -If you have an Apple laptop or desktop, with a software update system, so there is no way to 'install iCloud Drive' to this topic as it is already there as a function of iCloud.

    -remove the iCloud (app) drive icon on your iPhone will do nothing.

    -If your data is already in iCloud, so rest assured, it is already safe.

  • Recover deleted data from iCloud drive after downgrade accidentally?

    A friend has lowered her iCloud drive counts these days of previous 200 GB for the free 5 GB level. Now, he is faced with disasters: Unfortunately he had kept all his records and documents, that he totally forgot to save back to its local Mac before decommissioning. Now they are not more accessible, all the files and documents seem to be lost forever!

    Or is there a way to recover these files? Any idea and help would be very appreciated.

    Without a backup elsewhere files have disappeared.

  • Backup of files in TimeMachine iCloud drive

    I just above has migrated to a MacBook 12 '' Air of Macbook using Time Machine and noticed that my 2.4 GB of iCloud drive files are downloaded rather than migrating to the TimeMachine. This suggests that these files are not be saved locally, which is relative.

    Is it true that Time Machine does not back up iCloud locally stored files?

    Apparently, the files are backed up and stored in ~/library/mobile documents based on the following thread:

    Does not save icloud to Time Machine when you create on a Mac

    Indeed, I see my files in there, but I'm confused why these files have not been restored to the new machine and instead the entire library is to be re-uploaded. Fortunately, I had ~ 2 GB, but it would take hours for a larger library.

    Does anyone know if it is possible to restore the Time Machine backup files and let the iCloud to update as needed? It would appear more sensible and more similar to other cloud solutions.

    iCloud drive hides too much data locally?

    iCloud drive holds shadow copies of all the files on your Mac so you can always access your documents, even in offline mode. It is supposed to keep your documents synced to your devices, not as only an off-site storage to save space on the mac.

    You can't stop the shadow - on iCloud drive all files will be downloaded to your Mac, if you enable iCloud drive.

    If you want to iCloud drive as an external storage without the shadow, don't turn on your Mac, but only use the web interface at www.iCloud.com to download and view the documents there. But then you will not be able to see iCloud drive as a drive in the Finder.

  • Using iCloud Drive on iPad as a backup documents, music and photos

    Hi all

    With my trusty laptop Windows now 6 years old, that I am looking to replace that with an iPad Pro I feel this will do everything (and more), I would need a laptop.

    My question is about the storage and backup of my documents, music and video files and so on.

    With my laptop, I use an external hard drive to create a backup copy of these files.

    I understand the main purpose of iCloud drive is to access your documents from any device, but this Act also as a method for creating a backup of my files? If not, is there another way to do this?

    Thank you very much

  • Configuration of backups from iCloud drive: why are there two Mobile Documents files?

    I've recently started using iCloud drive to synchronize documents between my Mac and iOS devices. Now, I want to assure you that I have local backups of these documents.

    I understand that the documents synchronized via iCloud are store locally in my Mobile user home/library/Documents folder. But when I check I made 2 folders: Documents Mobile and Mobile Documents.90391253.  The Documents Mobile folder seems to keep all the records that I created using Pages, drafts and TextEdit.  The second folder has files with obscure names such as ' JFJWWP64QD ~ com ~ goodiware ~ GoodReader. ". Records of Documents that I checked are empty.

    Here is a screenshot of the second folder:

    Why are there two folders of Documents Mobile? When you add a folder to a backup program, I would add two folders or just the folder Documents Mobile?

    The second folder (the one your screenshot) is a backup of an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch, which was made via iTunes. More information: finding and managing your backups iTunes - Apple Support

  • Restore the iTunes app data backup and backup to iCloud

    My iPhone 6 has been stolen. I got iCloud backup enabled, and the last backup was 2 days.

    I do a full backup encrypted via iTunes it also sometimes manually, the last time was 1 month ago.

    I bought a 6 new iPhone as a replacement. When I tried to restore from your backup, everything (photos, applications, settings) seems to be restored very well, but most of my applications (not all) were missing from their app data.

    More importantly, Google Authenticator, which had all my keys to two factors and in hindsight, an app that follows the historic activity and has experienced a year of daily data stored on the device value authentication.

    I don't understand why it affected only a few applications, but not all. Most applications requiring a login account is no longer connected, makes me think that their data was not were properly restored either. I found one or two applications that had some settings restored properly, but most of my apps seem to be returned to a State of the new facility.

    I tried to re-do the restoration of iCloud again and got the same results.

    I'll try the iTunes backup restore then, but even if it works I would miss even 1 month of a data value. Is it possible to recover this data? I guess that that's actually in the iCloud backup 2 - old days, but for some reason any, that he is unable to restore.

    Is it possible to combine the full restoration of iTunes and then update with the most recent data backup to iCloud app?

    Update: when I tried to restore the iTunes backup I received this error a few minutes:

    Is it because the original phone was an iPhone 6 and the new phone is a 6s? Is it possible to access my backup?

  • Why is there no data or photos in my ICloud drive on my iPhone 6 s?

    Every thing is set up correctly in settings on my 6s to ICloud and ICLOUD app in the car, but nothing appears when I open ICloud drive on my phone.  She has been saved, the drive in market and off and on again, in settings, docs still only 2 appear to another word processing application.

    Backups on iCloud cannot be read or used for anything except to do a full restore. If you have settings > iCloud > Photos > iCloud enabled library, pictures are saved in the Photos app on iCloud and are visible on the phone via the Photos app (the same photos are on the phone and iCloud). You can use a computer and connect to https://www.icloud.com/ and see the various sections/Apps iCloud to get a better idea of what is in iCloud Drive and what is not. Essentially, what is in iCloud Drive will documents and other files you save specifically to this place. More information: iCloud Drive FAQ - Apple Support
