Backup iPad to iCloud

Making an iPad backup to iCloud is a good idea, if you want to always have access to your backups and not only from your PC. Surely, iCloud has its advantages: it makes copies automatically, you will have all your devices synchronized, you need only WiFi, and you don’t depend on PC.

But there are also some disadvantages:

❌ There is not much free space in iCloud, only 5 Gb free. You have to pay, if you want more
❌ It doesn’t keep copies more than 180 days
❌ Your data will be stored on Apple’s servers
❌ Restore from iCloud overwrites all iPhone data

But anyway, how do I backup my iPad to the cloud?

Open: Settings > Username > iCloud > iCloud Backup > Back up now

Conclusion:

How do I backup my iPad? It can be very easy with iTunes, but we all know, it’s NOT as simple as it seems!
❌It can be corrupted, iTunes saves it to nobodyknowswhere, errors can occur, etc.
But you can avoid all this mess! CopyTrans Shelbee is a solution for you! Easy, fast, with the possibility to choose the folder for your backup! In addition, our program also offers to restore all data or only important data. Enjoy it!
