From here you can also turn on automatic backup, but the safest is to do it manually to maintain control over the process.

Please note that if there is not enough storage space in iCloud, so you will not be able to backup everything. Then you have to choose whether to delete something, or transfer it to another location. A tip is to transfer pictures and videos to a computer or external storage device, such things gladly big place – and a long time to back up.

Do you have a backup from iCloud, you will be offered about recovery from previous backups when you first use the device again after a restore.

2. Backup via iTunes

If you do not want to start messing with iCloud or can not bear to delete content to accommodate, is the best backup solution iTunes. iTunes works on both Windows and Mac OS X, and allows you to make a backup of your device using just a few clicks. Plug in your gizmo via USB and iTunes will notify you if it has discovered a new iOS device.

From there, go to Overview → Manual backup → Backup Now . From there says most themselves. To restore iPhone or iPad, you must connect it to your computer again, and select Restore backup .

To restore the device from backup

When it is finished, it is only to turn on the unit. As mentioned, you will automatically be offered to restore the unit if you have used iCloud backup.
