Does anyone have detailed instructions on how to make a full backup of my iPhone such that when I restore it, it will be exactly like it was? Every time I do a backup/restore, things seem to get lost. It doesn't seem to be a complete backup.
As far as I know, the closest you can get to that is an encrypted backup via iTunes. There are still things omitted from the backup, though. Developers themselves can prevent certain files from being backed up: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/qa/qa1719/_index...
See, that's the problem. If it isn't a full backup then it's basically useless, because now I don't even know what's missing. Maybe it's something I really need urgently but only once a month, so it might take me a while to even figure out it's gone.
And what about say my soft tokens for 2FA? Will those survive the backup? I'm kind of afraid to find out because if they don't then it's a huge pain to reset all of those.
I wish backing up a phone was as easy as backing up a computer. :(
The problem is here are the things I use my phone for when I travel:
- email
- social media
- maps
- podcasts
- pictures
- soft tokens for 2fa
The first few can be handled by a burner, but for pictures I want my nice phone (I guess I could carry a separate camera) but I have no idea how to deal with the 2fa tokens.
