Tip: The Backup Difference Between iTunes, iCloud, and FonePaw
1. The iTunes backup and the third-party software backup are stored on your computer, on the other hand, the iCloud backup is stored on the Apple server. So iTunes backup capacity and FonePaw backup capacity depends on your computer capacity, but iCloud backup capacity depends on your iCloud ID capacity.
2. FonePaw backup files are smaller than iTunes and iCloud backup files, and can save your computer space.
3. FonePaw supports optional backup, so you can choose different types of data to backup. On the other hand, iTunes and iCloud back up all the data on your iPad at once without giving you the option to selectively choose the types of data you want to save.
