However, my laptop was broken down and I felt extremely regret because some of the data in it are difficult to get another copy now. So I keep a habit of backing up my iDevice from time to time.

iOS Backup & Restore is a great program that is good at backing up iOS data. Data like music, videos, photos, contacts, messages, call history, etc. can all be backed up from iPhone to computer.

Below is the easy to use guide for you to backup iPhone data to computer. Download iOS Backup & Restore on your computer and have a try. Here, I will show you two different ways to back up your iPhone files:

• Part 1: How to Backup iPhone to Computer
• Part 2: How to Backup iPhone to iCloud

Part 1: How to Backup iPhone to Computer

Step 1 Launch iOS Backup & Restore and connect iOS to PC
After downloading the program on your PC, install and launch it. Then, you need to choose "iOS Data Backup & Restore" on the interface. After that, you should connect iPhone to PC via USB cable and you device will be scanned and detected.



Step 2 Start to Backup iPhone
To start backing up iPhone to Windows, follow the below steps: click "iOS Data Backup" and choose "Standard Backup" or "Encrypted Backup". Click on the "Start" button and the program would start the backup process.



Note: "Encrypted Backup" option requires you to set a password for the backup and in this way, it helps to protect the data on your iPhone.



Step 3 Select Data to Backup
There are different data types for your choice to backup such as photos, contacts, SMS, movies, videos, and more. Just choose the one you want and click on the "Next" button.



If the backup is complete, you will get the iPhone backup copy saved on your computer.

Part 2: How to Backup iPhone to iCloud

Note: The steps to back up your iPhone 8/7/SE/6s/6s Plus/6 data to iCloud are easy. But the only shortcoming of this backup way is that with iCloud, it is not very easy to restore the data one by one selectively. But iOS Backup & Restore, instead, allows you to back up and restore iPhone data selectively or totally as you wish.
