A back up is essentially a copy of the information stored on your device that you can transfer to your new one. The whole point of this palaver is so that all the data, songs, pictures, apps and any other information you might need is available to your new device.
There are two methods to back up your smartphone. The first method uses the cloud (iCloud) to store your data so that you can access it whenever you need to without the need to plug your phone into a computer. The other method uses Apple’s beloved platform, iTunes. You’ll need a computer to back up using iTunes but there’s nothing stopping you from creating an alternative back up by making one via iCloud and one using iTunes.

Developed by Wondershare for Mac and Windows, Dr.Fone is a free-to-try desktop application that offers a far more customizable approach to iOS device data recovery than Apple’s methods do. With this roster of compatible file types, Dr.Fone also enables you to access and save backup data, such as messages, photos from messages, call history, and voicemail, that otherwise cannot be selectively accessed and saved. Further, it lets you save data on your computer or on a cloud service such as Dropbox, thus doing away with potential data loss from overreliance on Apple’s over-the-air backups.
Evidently, Dr.Fone offers more control and granularity over iOS device data recovery, and it does so with an iOS-inspired interface to boot. Before using Dr.Fone on your computer, first make sure that iTunes is closed so as to avoid data overwriting by synchronization. Note that your device need not be connected to your computer for Dr.Fone’s iTunes or iCloud backup operation to work.
If you wish to extract information from an iTunes backup, click the “Recover from iTunes backup file” tab on Dr.Fone’s home screen. Choose your preferred backup file according to its indicated device name and date and click Start Scan to commence scanning of files from the backup. Wait for the scan to complete and then proceed to the “File preview and recovery” section below for the rest of the steps.
If you want to take down files from iCloud, click the “Recover from iCloud backup file” tab instead on Dr.Fone’s home screen. You’ll then be asked to sign in to iCloud (privately and securely, Wondershare maintains) with your Apple ID. Note that you may encounter some sign-in issues if your Apple ID is protected by two-factor verification, even when you’re using an app-specific password.
