We offer reliable and secure backup options and help you set up automatic backups. This way, you don’t have to worry about the backup process anymore and can focus on using your iPad.

Step-by-step plan: backing up your iPad

At leapp we want to make the backup process as simple and understandable as possible. Here are the steps you can follow: 1. Update your iPad Make sure your iPad is updated to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS . Sometimes backup processes are optimized in the latest software versions. 2. Connect to a Wi-Fi network Make sure your iPad is connected to a reliable Wi-Fi network. This is important because backing up via iCloud or iTunes requires your device to be connected to the Internet. 3. Perform the backup. You can choose between these different ways: Create iCloud Backup - Go to “Settings” on your iPad. - Tap your name at the top of the settings page. - Select “iCloud”. - Tap on “iCloud Backup”. - Turn on the switch next to “iCloud Backup”. - Tap “Back Up Now” to start a backup immediately. Create iTunes/Finder Backup (for iOS 13 and earlier) - Connect your iPad to a computer using a USB cable. - Open iTunes (for macOS Catalina and earlier) or Finder (formacOS Catalina and later). - Select your iPad when it appears. - Choose "Back Up" in iTunes or Finder. You can choose between an encrypted or unencrypted backup, depending on your preference. 4. Wait for the backup process to complete Depending on the amount of data on your iPad and the speed of your internet connection, backing up may take some time. Make sure your iPad is plugged in and has a stable internet connection during this process. 5. Check if the backup was successful Once the backup is complete, you can verify it by going to "Settings" > "Your Name" > "iCloud" > "iCloud Backup" and checking the date and time of the last backup. If you backed up via iTunes/Finder, you can verify it by going to iTunes/Finder and looking at the date and time of the most recent backup.

Automatic backups

To set up automatic backups for your iPad, navigate to your settings and select “iCloud” or “iTunes & App Store ” depending on your preferred method. Enable the automatic backup option and make sure your iPad is connected to Wi-Fi and a power source. Your iPad will then automatically back up your data on a regular basis, keeping your valuable information safe in case anything happens to your device.
