It’s rather essential to back up your iPhone data regularly in case your device gets lost or damaged. Do wait until it’s too late.
As we all know, iTunes can backup and restore iPhone with ease, however, the backup files are unreadable, and if you want to restore with iTunes backup, you have to erase all the content and settings on your iPhone first, which may lead to the loss of data generated after the backup. In addition, iCloud is another iPhone backup choice, however, the free backup space is limited, iPhone erase is also required before the restore, and it will take rather long time to either backup iPhone or restore iPhone if the quantity of your files is large. The most important is that backing up iPhone data to iCloud is not that safe due to government surveillance programs or any other unknown data-collection or data-leak risks.
