Another distinguishing feature of all inventions operating on the famous iOS platform is their closedness. For example, the methods of storing data, characteristic of gadgets of other companies, can never be repeated with the help of Apple devices. Therefore, before deciding on where the backup copies of the iPhone are stored, consider how you can copy data from this device.

First of all, the program for backupcopying, which is most often used by users, is called iTunes. In addition, that this creation is an online store of music and video files designed specifically for iOs, it is also a place where you store backup copies of iPhone and other "apple" devices. In order to transfer information from your gadget to iTunes, it will be enough to start the synchronization process of the software installed on the PC with the Apple gadget previously connected to the PC using a USB cable. It is worth remembering that synchronization is possible only if there is active access to the Internet.

In this case, the files stored in the "cloud" service will be automatically updated from the device if you have access to the network and when you connect to the charger. However, in this case, there is no synchronization of products that were not previously purchased in the iTunes Store. Also worth noting is that the most reliable copying, which includes the entire contents of the gadget, is made when it is synchronized directly with the PC.

When using Vista or Windows 7, copies will be placed in the Documents tree of the Users, where after the opening of AppData and Roaming, the Apple Computer folder is found. IPhone owners working on a PC in Windows XP should pay attention to the folder "Documents and Settings", where, by opening the "Application Data", you can find "Apple Computer".
