Let’s find out what iCloud backup is and what problems will you have with it! When iCloud Backup is turned on, iCloud automatically backs up the information on your iPhone over Wi-Fi every day (when the device is turned on, locked, and connected to a power source). That means that you can use your iCloud backup if something went wrong and restore the data.

And here comes the problem! Your iPhone backups only include data and settings stored on your device and not content stored in iCloud. What does it mean? It means that data that is already in iCloud will not be included in iCloud Backup!

There is an easy solution to this problem: back up your iPhone with CopyTrans Shelbee! It will backup ALL your notes: local notes and notes saved in iCloud.

1. Download and install CopyTrans Shelbee:
