Use ipad 2 as backup?

Several months ago, I replaced my old ipad 2 with a mini ipad.  Now, I want to use the ipad 2 as a backup device for the mini just in case.  What would be the best way to achieve this?  At present, each has its own backup in iTunes.

It seems to me like the iPad 2 to be a clone of iPad Mini, since that's how I would interpret to have the iPad 2 as your backup device. You want that they have the same content, if I understand correctly.

Back up and synchronize the iPad Mini, and then restore the backup from the mini to the iPad 2. make the selections of synchronization even on the iPad 2 as you do on the iPad Mini so that when you synchronize the iPad 2, you synchronize the content on the iPad Mini. I guess you already did that when configure you the Mini, but just keep it with the iPad 2.

If you want to keep the iPad 2 current, you must repeat these steps every day at least so that all the content is the same on both devices.

I'm sure you're familiar with this already, but if not, take a look.

    Close the App Store completely from the window of the selector app by double clicking the Home button and slide up the App Store preview pane until it disappears from the display. Then sign out of the iTunes Store (in the settings).

    Then perform a forced reboot. Hold down the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    Then reconnect to the iTunes Store.

    Why do you think it could be stolen? Ask the seller to clear the Apple ID and password. If the seller is unable to do this or said that they forgot the information, then it might be stolen. If you have any concerns about this, don't buy it.

  • 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

  • How to extract data from partially ipad from itunes backup

    My wife has removed some photos and voice Memos from my iPad 2. Luckily, I backed up their with iTunes two weeks ago. The question is that I need only restore a few items from the backup instead of a full restore. I don't want the existing data are overwritten by the backup. Is there any application for this? Or there are other ways out. Thank you

  • Send SMS with android phone and also using iPad

    I have a (Galaxy Note4) Android phone and an iPad (4th generation, just before the series of 'Air').

    I use a lot of text messaging and really wish I could get my texts on the two devices using the android phone number.  In the past, I used an application called "TextNow" which assigns you a unique number and number synchronization with two devices from the app store from Apple or Google Play. It worked well... I would get all my texts on two fairly transparent devices.

    I also watched Google Hangouts and the possibility of having multiple devices receiving the texts had been "fixed" in a recent update Hangouts. Thus, Hangouts no longer allows multiple devices of different platforms to access the texts on the same number.

    My question is... are at - it application in both the app store and google game that will allow you to send and receive texts using the mobile number rather that having to generate a new number?

    I'm not aware of something that doesn't require the other party to also have the same application, something like WhatsApp. The ability to text on the iPad is dependent on the connection device to an iPhone, because it uses the iPhone to send text. You can simply send the texts to the iPad.

  • Use the TC for backup and as external hard drive

    Hello

    Can I use TC for backup and as external hard drive?

    If yes then when it is full, TC erase my personal data I have stored in TC as a hard drive or erase the oldest backups?

    1. Yes, but you shouldn't. Your working data and backups must be on separate drives in case one of them goes down.

    2. Time Machine will not erase the data it did not originally there.
