It's not a problem if you took measures to make sure you have a copy. It's a problem if you just take "full backups" for granted until you figure out that some things don't get included in "full".
- Terretta 6y agoIt’s not “some things”. Its things where the app developer explicitly chose to tag them to not be included. And yes, for years one had to do the physical cabled backup restores for this, then these same app developers learned how to exclude their data from those as well. However, as of iOS 12, 13 and 14, there seems to be decreasing to zero effective difference in what’s included between tethered (with password), local WiFi (with password), and OTA iCloud backups. You may be able to forcibly back these up using a third party tool that also lets you back up sandboxed temp files and the like, tools like iExplorer: https://macroplant.com/iexplorer/mount-iphone-disk-mode-file-folder-access https://macroplant.com/iexplorer/mount-iphone-disk-mode-file... If you’re jailbroken, that can backup anything under root of course.
