The BEST iPhone Backup Software (2022 Update)

Last Updated: November 1, 2022 by Kevin Shaw

Anyone who’s lost their iPhone or had to factory reset it will know how annoying it can be to lose years’ worth of information, photos, settings and apps.

It can set you back a long time, and whether you’re moving to a new iPhone or getting yours fixed or reset, it can be really upsetting to know that you lost precious files and data.

Backing up data is probably the most overlooked aspect of using a digital device, but is undoubtedly the most important.

The main reason being, without your data, your device is literally of no use except for a few pre-built apps that work offline. Other than that, it’s majorly dependent on your data. So, backing up iPhone is essential to ensure if your device gets wiped out, you still have your data saved somewhere to bring it back.

Besides, it helps you:

  • Get quick access to your files.
  • Transfer files from one device to another
  • Gain peace of mind ✌

There’s iCloud that does a good job of backing up; however, it’s not the most advanced and lacks a ton of good features compared to the ones I’ll be discussing in this article. These backup tools for iPhone and iPad lets you do more than just storing your data.

So, without any further ado, let’s get started.

1. AnyTrans

AnyTrans is a superb desktop app that makes it super easy to backup your iPhone and manage your backups however you like. Here are some of the features that make it so amazing.

AnyTrans features

Complete iPhone support

AnyTrans is a backup program built specifically for iPhones, which means that it doesn’t just work for the latest version of Apple’s superb phones – it supports all iPhone models from the iPhone 3G onward, right up to the lastest and greatest, the iPhone 13 Pro Max. That means that regardless of what sort of iPhone you’re using, you’ll find AnyTrans helpful.

Comprehensive backups

Unlike the standard iCloud backups that you can set up for your iPhone, AnyTrans lets you have total control over how you back your phone up, including the option to keep multiple backups from different dates and to choose what you include in these backups. This means that when you want to move your backups or restore them to your phone you’re command, rather than waiting to find out what was saved, and what wasn’t.

Being able to choose between a full data backup, or a more piece-by-piece incremental data backup will let you save on time and computer storage when you come to make your backups, which is really useful for those of us with limited amounts of space.

These backups are also absolutely complete, unlike many competitors – AnyTrans supports 10 extra types of important data that it’ll back up, including your music, photos, messages and much more, to ensure that everything you want is saved.

Backups created how you like

Rather than forcing you into one option, AnyTrans lets you choose how you back your phone up in practical terms, too. You can choose to have it automatically back up wirelessly every so often, or only make backups when you’re plugged in and manually start them. This is another way to ensure that you’re in control of the process from the start. If you want a daily backup that’s entirely fine, since you’re in control of frequency and method.

Safe and secure

Of course, when you back your phone up part of what you want is security, and AnyTrans is exemplary on that front. Its backup processes are 100 per cent secure, with both USB transfers and Wi-Fi backups transmitted under encryption, and storage staying 100% local to your computer, rather than being vulnerable to hacking in the cloud.

2. Dr.Fone

The Dr.Fone backup tool backs up your entire phone to your computer, with the ability to restore it at any time to the same or a different device. It’s a great solution for making regular backups in case something goes wrong with your phone in the future. In addition, it will help you migrate your entire profile from an old phone to a new phone. Here are some of the features that make it so amazing.

Dr.Fone features

Selectively backup and restore any data you want.

You can create full backups in one click or select exactly which data you want. Likewise, you can pick and choose which data to restore from a backup already on your computer. This can be an entire category such as contacts or call history, or you can dig into categories like photos and select the precise images.

Dr.Fone iPhone users can also back up and restore iCloud and iTunes data in full or selectively.

From notes, call history, and voice memos to photos, videos, and messages, Dr.Fone allows you to backup a ton of different data options.

Incremental restore

If some data on your phone has become corrupted or you’ve accidentally deleted something, choose incremental restore to only restore the missing data. This will quickly return your phone to normal without overwriting what’s already there.

It’s also a useful option if you want to migrate data from one backup to another phone that has existing data on it. For example, if you’ve been using a new phone for several weeks and have only just found the time to restore data from an old device.
