What a backup
For example, with PCs and Macs, some solutions only back up your files and folders, while other solutions take a snapshot of the entire hard disk and back up everything, meaning you can go back to bare metal and be fully bootable. Other solutions only back up selected devices such as your PC and Mac, but do not protect your mobile devices. Other backup solutions can protect all your devices.

Why iPhone Backup is Important?
Everyone has problems with their digital devices, even with their smartphones. However, a study conducted in the following quarter found that:
From April to June 2016, 58 percent of iPhones failed.
These figures do not seem to be going in the right direction in terms of peace of mind.
If these failures lead to any lost data and you do not back it up, you think your phone will lose a lot more than its contact list!
Backing up your computer is an important way to avoid losing valuable data such as family photos, financial and mid records, and music. Computers crash, hard drives fail and other disasters occur, but if you have a backup, you are protected. This also applies to your iPhone 7.
Our smartphones are full of important data. You want to capture photos, text messages, emails, and music. Smartphones are more likely to crash than computers – they are more vulnerable to drops, damage or theft, or other disasters.
