iOS Backup: Create an Archive
If you want to keep a specific version of a backup for your iPhone/iPad
- first backup the device in iTunes
- open Preferences, Devices
- right click on the device and select "Archive"
- your backup will now show a date and won't be overwritten by the next backup
Not sure why this is so hidden but it's quite handy to keep specific versions for testing&debugging.
