How to Backup iPhone to Mac
To make this type of copy, our iPhone experts recommend us
to connect the mobile to the Mac through a cable . The
same could be done by wireless connection, but the most practical option is
through a wired connection.
In the MAC sidebar we will have to choose the iPhone. To do
this you will have to use the Finder. This option is only available in
MacOS versions 10.15 or higher. If you have a lower version then you will
not be able to use that way to make the copy. In that case you should make
the copy through iTunes.
If you use Finder, you will have to give the general option at
the top of the window.
Next, you must choose "Save a backup of all iPhone data to
this Mac." If you want the information to be more secure, then you
must choose the option to encrypt the data and choose a password. That way
you will only be able to restore the data that you have saved on your computer. To
do so, you will only have to give the option "Encrypt local backup".
Finally, you must choose "Make a backup now" and the
backup will begin. Keep in mind that it is saved on your computer and then
you can upload it to the cloud if you want to make an extra copy so that your
data is more secure. Of course, if you want to make backups, then you will
have to do the same process every time you want one. For that reason, the
most common is to use the iCloud route, which does that job automatically on a
daily basis.
