iCloud iPhone backup

Hello

I use an iPhone 6s 128 GB gold. I recently saw my iPhone Backup is great 17 GB, and I started to ask me, whence these 17 GB come, given that iCloud is not backup Apps, Podcasts, music, and other media. The research that I did just confused me even more. ICloud data stores of the App does not add up to 17 GB (by far).

And what else confused me, was that there are apps, contain way more data, they seem to have on backup, for example my app dictionary dict.cc , which contains the value of 250 MB of data is only 15 MB back up.

The same problem with my Google Maps app, which stores a large map.

Can someone help me and clarify things? Thank you very much!

My apologies if you have already read this - data such as contacts that are already stored are not saved

  • Should I iPhone backup to iCloud?

    Hello

    Have an iPhone 4S with IOS to date that has not been saved to iCloud for more than a month. I backed him up for MacBook, but whenever I have connected, connected to WiFi and try to backup, it gets 80% done and then says: «can't save now»  I tried the suggestion to remove the old iPhone backup from the clouds, but it can not be deleted at this time. (Backup of what we call takes place 0, so not much of a backup to delete).

    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).

  • I can't trust iCloud for backup?

    My wife and I have several Macs and iPad backup iCloud. Today we have connected and the documents of our Pages are gone — not a few documents, but precious and many lost work. Lost? I've seen other posts related to Pages and sheets of deleted documents and unrecoverable IOS after the most recent upgrade. I visited iCloud.com and searched recoverable documents in the 'Advanced' section to see if the papers were there - they were not. I checked to see if iCloud in 'Settings' with all our devices - it is. Apple said at the time that we shouldn't count on iCloud for backup, because they cannot ensure our documents stored cloud will survive our specific to the device updates? Seriously? So I should relegate all iCloud to toy status devices because they are not reliable for work? Why our unit upgrades would replace somehow data that was stored "safely" remotely? Wasn't that the point of iCloud 'trust' in the first place. Can anyone talk me down off that ledge I'm about to throw my (many) features of work Apple out of? Thank you.

    Apple do not back up user iCloud storage and does not announce that iCloud is a backup service. It is a place of convenience for document sharing between Apple devices only. You alone are responsible for the backup of your files, and which is carried out with an external drive properly size Time machine and, possibly, yet another external drive that you clone your boot drive too.

    Time Machine backs up your documents in iCloud drive (if they were changed) with each hourly backup run. The condition is that the Mac must be signed in the iCloud and iCloud drive active. In addition, selected items in the category of Options iCloud drive will get photographed by Time Machine.

    With paragraph 2 is met, Time Machine will search your local library: Documents Mobile folder. It is the active content of your iCloud drive.

    Once iCloud drive is enabled in the Yosemite or later (on any device from Apple), devices iOS and Mac using the same Apple ID, but running older versions of Mac OS X will lose their documents in iCloud site. These documents will remain accessible on iCloud drive, but is no longer available on the old version of iCloud.

    Hi Laura,

    Sorry to hear that you forgot your iPhone backup password. You can try all possible passwords.

    See backups encrypted in iTunes - Apple Support about

    There is no way to recover your information or disable backup encrypted if you lose or forget the password.

    You cannot use a backup encrypted if you do not have the password. If you have forgotten your password, the only way to turn off encryption on the backup device is to wipe your device and set up as new. Clear deletes all data on your device. If you do not want to erase your device, restore from a backup rather
