Installing the Backup App on an iPhone or iPad (Initial Setup)

For Cloud Backup and MyDefender

To back up iPhones or iPads, you need to install the Acronis Cyber Backup App on these devices. This article describes how to download and install the Acronis Cyber Backup App.

The Acronis Cyber Backup App supports iPhones, iPads and iPods with the iOS 11.1 operating system or higher.

• Contacts

• Photos

• Videos

• Calendar

• Reminders (iOS devices only)

• The backup destination cannot be configured in the app. To save backups in a specific data center, open the backup console available for the desired data centre in the IONOS Cloud Panel in the Backup > Backup Package section. Then follow the steps described below to install the respective app with the corresponding preset backup target on your mobile device.

• The Acronis Cyber Backup App will show you an overview of data changes that have occurred in the meantime each time it is launched. If you wish, you can back them up manually.

• The Continuous Backup feature is enabled by default.

• The Use WLAN only option is enabled by default in the app settings. When this setting is enabled, Acronis Cyber Backup App will back up your data only when a wireless connection is available. If the wireless connection is lost, no backup process will be started. If you want the app to use wireless data connection as well, uncheck this option.

• Optimising battery consumption on your device may prevent the Cyber Protect app from working properly. To ensure that backups run on schedule, you should disable battery consumption optimisation for the app.

• You can access your backed up data from any mobile device registered in the Backup Console. This way you can easily transfer data to a new mobile device, for example. You can also restore backups of contacts and photos from an Android device (source) to an iOS device (destination) and vice versa. You can also download photos, videos and contacts to your computer from the Backup Console.

• Backups backed up with your MyDefender account can only be restored from that account.

• With the Acronis Backup app, you can restore only the most recent backups. To restore older backups, you must use the Backup Console.

• No retention rules are applied to mobile device backups.
