Celebrating World Backup Day with your Apple Devices — 4 Different Ways to Backup your iPhone, iPad and Mac

31st March is celebrated as World Backup Day — a day to not only remind you to create backups of your data-holding devices but also create awareness of backups among your friend groups and family members.

Introduction

Ask me what I learned today and I shall tell you about ‘World Backup Day’. Well, not all about it but at least as much as I could read about it in the last few hours. In the very first few minutes, they had me convinced of how important backups are and the different methods that should be used for creating backups. While I did know most of these techniques beforehand, there are quite a few new ones I learned today.

A backup is a copy of all the important files on your devices such as photos, videos, documents, emails, calendars, contacts, etc, and storing that copy somewhere safe. Probably, in different places and different formats too.

If you are an Apple Fanboy like me you definitely have more than a single Apple product and are worried about the data on it. So fear no more, we shall discuss all the possible ways to create backups for your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. But first, let us understand how important backups actually are.
