Icloud Backup

I've been using Evernote for a number of years on my desktop PC, iPad and iPhone. I've just noticed the the iCloud backup file size for Evernote on the iPad is 1.5GB, whereas it is only 700 MB on the iPhone. Can anyone explain why there is such a discrepancy in the file sizes.

Do I need to use the iCloud backup service if all the data is stored on the Evernote servers? Surely if I have to reinstall Evernote on one of my devices then it will automatically sync will the data stored centrally by Evernote?

Now if you need to reinstall that database, you can do so from a local or an iCloud backup, or you can wait for a few hours while it downloads from Evernote's servers. If you do have any Local (unsynced) Notebooks though, they won't be present, because unsynced does exactly what it says on the can. The only copy is on your hard drive - and (apparently) in iCloud.

There are lots of arguments that backups to the cloud are a Good Thing. But put it this way. I have a hard drive with spare space. Wanna give me your backup copy? I promise to keep it till you need it. Honest.

Thanks. I do keep a local backup copy, with regular archives, from my desktop PC version, so it was more a question about whether the iPad and iCloud option was essential, which you have helped me clarify in my own mind.

I personally have EXCLUDED Evernote data from my iCloud backup for much of the reasons states by you and Gaz. Indeed with a cache in the hundreds of mb eating up a good segment of my measly 5gb iCloud, plus the redundancy of Evernote's servers and my mac's backups, I didn't deem it necessary.

That being said, now that Apple makes a 20gb iCloud plan available for $1/month, I've decided to include Evernote back into the iCloud backup. Reconfiguring the iOS client every time I do a restore or upgrade the device is a real pain, and re-including it in iCloud backup has meant I no longer need to fiddle with these settings.

Each backup storage location requires you to have one personal Microsoft account, and iOS requires you to also have an iCloud account. You can have multiple accounts stored in that single location. For example, you can have a personal account, a work or school account, and a personal, non-Microsoft account like for Facebook, Google, and so on.

Your backup is stored in the iCloud for iOS and in Microsoft's cloud storage provider for Android. This means that your backup is unavailable if you switch between Android and iOS devices. If you make the switch, you must manually recreate your accounts within the Authenticator app.

If you've already set up accounts in the Authenticator app, the app won't be able to recover your backed-up accounts. Preventing recovery helps ensure that your account details aren't overwritten with out-of-date information. In this situation, you must remove any existing account information from the existing accounts set up in your Authenticator app before you can recover your backup.

My iCloud backup is continually growing and I have practically every backup option (including camera roll and all other apps) turned off. It does not make any difference and has continued to grow. My current backup is 4.9GB. Any ideas? I've been diggin around online and haven't found any help.

This second backup shouldn't take that long as I suspect it will speed up the uploads for those files that match a specific hash (i.e.: same file already on thei servers). It should transfer what is still really missing.

After dealing with the same problem for months, I think I've finally cracked it: What's the app you use really often, but isn't listed among the individual backup options in the iCloud settings? Yup, Messages. Chances are that over time you have been sending and receiving photos and -- an even bigger culprit -- videos. These have been piling up locally on your device and getting backed up to iCloud each night.

Today I manually went through each of my iMessage threads on my iPhone and iPad and deleted all videos that I sent to/received from friends and family (I'm leaving photos for now, since they're much smaller files). Then I deleted both iCloud backups and then turned the iCloud backup fuctionality back on. Like a charm, hundreds of megabytes of backup size had been shaved off of both devices. If you're not too attached to your various iMessage discussions, you can just clear them altogether and save yourself the painful exercise I undertook. From now on, I'm going to delete a video from Messages as soon as I send it; if I'm receiving, I'll save to Camera Roll and delete from Messages.

After upgrading my iPhone 6 Plus to IOS 9, my iCloud storage shows 5GB of my 25GB available. It shows an iPad Air (not yet updated to iOS9) backup of 516MB, and an iPhone backup of 0 KB, which I cannot delete (This backup cannot be deleted at this time). Documents and Data only 6.9MB, but only 5 GB available, and not enough room to continue to back up the iPhone. The 19GB iPhone backup appears to have been corrupted and cannot be deleted or updated by the phone. Looks like lots of folks are having similar issues. Any solutions?

If I switch in iTunes from "backup to iCloud" to "back up to this computer", and then back to iCloud, it still shows the phantom 19GB of space occupied. If I click "back up now", it goes through the process, but still shows last iCloud backup is from 9/16, before the iOS 9 upgrade - it does not update.o

on the phone: Settings- General- Storage & iCloud Usage, or Settings- iCloud- Storage- Manage Storage (either one) shows Backups: Joe's iPhone (ThisiPhone) 0KB. Click on the backup, it shows Latest Backup- Never (since I tried to delete it- before it showed 9/16 which was the last backup before iOS 9 upgrade), backup size 0 bytes. Option to DELETE BACKUP brings up "Do you want to TURN OFF BACKUP and delete all backup data for this iPhone from iCloud?" Clicking "Turn Off and Delete" shows "deleting....."and it stops. But the iPhone backup 0KB is still listed, and there are still only 5GB of space available - the 0KB backup is taking up its usual 19GB, and has NOT been deleted. The option to delete is gone until I restart the phone.

I was looking for that setting. Turned backup off, restarted the phone. iPhone backup no longer listed under "manage storage", but still only 5GB available - the phantom backup up is still taking up room in the directory. Turned it back on, said "backup now", starts to back up, then popup "cannot be backed up because there is not enough iCloud storage available. Apple server file allocation table is corrupted...

I also have a bunch of "phantom space" in my backup set, though in my case it's only about 3 GB. It's still very frustrating though, because I can see on iCloud.com that 9.5 GB are devoted to backups, but on any of my devices it only lists 6.9 GB of backups (i.e., it's impossible to delete more than 6.9 GB). I'd be perfectly willing to nuke all the backups and start fresh in order to reclaim the space, but they don't even give us that option.

I know; not a good situation. I'm getting a new iPhone 6S Plus next week. What do I restore it from? Obviously not an iCloud backup unless Apple fixes this quickly. iTunes 12.3 still has issues with Windows 10, though backup to computer SEEMS to work... scary though.

That's close to what happened for me except that the back up then proceeded and completed, but then again I had oodles of room. I wonder if for the sake of getting the first backup to complete, if turning everything that's backed up off (or most of it) so it's only a small back up will do it.

Could try I guess; but getting a small backup to fit in my remaining 5GB available space (my iPad on iOS 8.4.1 is still backing up successfully every night) won't solve the problem when I need more than 5GB, will it?

If you go to Settings>iCloud>Storage>Manage Storage> and click on the device in question, you will then see a list of items below the backup info that are turned on (or off). What is turned on is what is backing up. What is turned off is not included in any backups that are being made.

I have 10 iphones enrolled into Intune, each user has a managed apple ID and they can sync messages, contacts to the apple cloud. The devices are locked down slightly, so we deploy apps via the company portal or set apps as required, rather than allowing the user to install apps. I have a setting enabled so users cannot use cloud backup for managed apps (managed apps are apps pushed via intune - not Microsoft managed apps as I first thought so its different to MAM) but with this enabled it means WhatsApps doesn't backup messages as its classed as managed.

I need to reset one of these devices since a user is running into an issue (only fix is reset) but this issue around whats app data could come up if a user loses their phone so need to resolve it. So I either allow all managed apps to be synced to icloud (outlook, onenote, teams, whats app, etc) or do without but as they rely on whats app this isn't great should a user reset his phone.

My query is around what data does icloud backup from Outlook, OneDrive, etc? I could enable the setting but don't really want the Microsoft data stored there as well and cant imagine it does store under icloud backup on the phone you can select the Microsoft apps if enabled so it must store something.

So, I intially attempted to install Beta 1 back in June. No matter what I tried, I could not get my iCloud backup to install applications and complete the restore. I had to go back to iOS 8, and restore my 8.3 backup because in addition to using my phone for testing, it's also my primary iPhone (6Plus).

Fast forward to this past Saturday, and I had to restore my phone to iOS 8.4 and NOT restore my backup in order to test some AirPlay issues. This resulted in a brand new iCloud backup, free of much of the clutter of my previous iCloud backup.

Once your backup has been restored, and you are staring at a bunch of applications waiting for them to download, just open settings, then iTunes and App Store, and then sign out. Then, reboot your iPhone. When you return to the home screen, it will prompt you for your AppleID. Sign back in, and presto, Applications download immediately. ff782bc1db
