>Only reason why I don't do it more frequently is it's a pain in the ass. I've been fairly impressed with iOS's backup restoration system recently.
Interesting! My gripe is I haven't found a way to do a cloud backup of an iPhone w/o putting the data in iCloud, which I do not trust.
I'd prefer to make my own backup which I store/pull down manually... is that possible?
My assumption is that if a country is nosy enough to want access to a device, encryption is irrelevant since they'll just demand a PW, so ideally I'd like to wipe the device then pull a backup down later.
- woolvalley 8y agoYou can do an encrypted backup of your iPhone via iTunes, archive it and then move it to whatever you want to. You can also put that backup inside some sort of encrypted container before you upload. You might feel like its redundant to 'double encrypt' your backup, but iOS wont back up a bunch of stuff if you don't encrypt the backup, so you should still do it. You can also use some sort of E2E backup software like arq or restic, dig through it's archives and download your iphone backup that way. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204215 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204215
