Why should you use FonePaw - iOS Data Backup & Restore?
After reading this article, you might be wondering:
- Why use this program?
- Why use this program to backup and restore files instead of iTunes?
- Compared to iCloud and iTunes, is it better?
So, let me give you some explanation:
1. The backup file size of this program is much smaller than that of iTunes and iCloud. If you make a backup for the same iPhone through these three ways, you will see a big difference. The backup of iTunes and iCloud will occupy more than 1 GB while this software takes up much less space. And yet, it will take less time to restore.
2. You can backup and restore some items through this software while you cannot do it with iTunes and iCloud.
3. If you plan to restore data from iCloud and iTunes backups, it is impossible to preview the detailed items, while with this software, you can check the backup contents before extracting the data.
4. What is even more surprising is that we can cancel the restore process without the files on the device going missing.
