Automatically back up with iCloud Backup

To let iCloud automatically back up your device each day, here's what you need to do:

• Make sure that iCloud Backup is turned on in Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup.
• Connect your device to a power source.
• Connect your device to a Wi-Fi network.
• Make sure that your device's screen is locked.
• Check that you have enough available space in iCloud for the backup. When you sign in to iCloud, you get 5GB of iCloud storage for free. If you need more iCloud storage, you can buy more from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. Plans start at 50GB for $0.99 (USD) a month. Learn more about prices in your region.

How to back up with iTunes

1. Update to the latest version of iTunes.
2. Open iTunes and connect your device to your computer.*
3. If a message asks for your device passcode or to Trust This Computer, follow the onscreen steps. If you forgot your passcode, get help.
   
4. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod when it appears in iTunes. If your device doesn't appear in iTunes, learn what to do.
5. If you want to save Health and Activity data from your iOS device or Apple Watch, you need to encrypt your backup: Select the box called Encrypt [device] backup and create a memorable password. If you don't need to save your Health and Activity data, you can make a backup that isn't encrypted. Just click Back Up Now.
   Write down your password and store it somewhere safe, because there's no way to recover your iTunes backups without this password.
   
6. When the process ends, you can see if the backup finished successfully on the Summary screen in iTunes. Just look under Latest Backup to find the date and time.

Introduction

restic is a backup program that is fast, efficient and secure. It supports the three major operating systems (Linux, macOS, Windows) and a few smaller ones (FreeBSD, OpenBSD).

For detailed usage and installation instructions check out the documentation.

You can ask questions in our Discourse forum.

Quick start

Once you've installed restic, startoff with creating a repository for your backups:

and add some data:

Next you can either use restic restore to restore files or use resticmount to mount the repository via fuse and browse the files from previoussnapshots.

For more options check out the online documentation.

Backends

Saving a backup on the same machine is nice but not a real backup strategy.Therefore, restic supports the following backends for storing backups natively:

• HTTP REST server (protocolrest-server)
• AWS S3 (either from Amazon or using the Minio server)
• And many other services via the rcloneBackend

Design Principles

Restic is a program that does backups right and was designed with thefollowing principles in mind:

• Easy: Doing backups should be a frictionless process, otherwiseyou might be tempted to skip it. Restic should be easy to configureand use, so that, in the event of a data loss, you can just restoreit. Likewise, restoring data should not be complicated.
• Fast: Backing up your data with restic should only be limited byyour network or hard disk bandwidth so that you can backup your filesevery day. Nobody does backups if it takes too much time. Restoringbackups should only transfer data that is needed for the files thatare to be restored, so that this process is also fast.
• Verifiable: Much more important than backup is restore, so resticenables you to easily verify that all data can be restored.
• Secure: Restic uses cryptography to guarantee confidentiality andintegrity of your data. The location the backup data is stored isassumed not to be a trusted environment (e.g. a shared space whereothers like system administrators are able to access your backups).Restic is built to secure your data against such attackers.
• Efficient: With the growth of data, additional snapshots shouldonly take the storage of the actual increment. Even more, duplicatedata should be de-duplicated before it is actually written to thestorage back end to save precious backup space.

Reproducible Builds

The binaries released with each restic version starting at 0.6.1 arereproducible, which means that you caneasily reproduce a byte identical version from the source code for thatrelease. Instructions on how to do that are contained in thebuilder repository.
