What a backup leaves out
-
Synced data lives in iCloud, not in the backup
iCloud Backup helps keep your data safe by making a copy of the information on your iPhone, iPad, and Apple Vision Pro that isn't already synced to iCloud. If you use Messages in iCloud, your messages automatically sync to iCloud so they aren’t included in your daily backup. When you use iCloud Photos, your photos, videos, and face information automatically sync to iCloud so they aren’t included in your daily backup. If the app uses iCloud Drive to store data, that information is stored in iCloud instead of your iCloud Backup. Apple: What does iCloud back up? ↗ -
Old iCloud backups expire
If you turn off iCloud Backup for a device, any backups stored in iCloud are kept for 180 days before being deleted. Apple: What does iCloud back up? ↗
