iPad backup

[Twiney_]

Hi I have been making backups since I got my iPad and now my iCloud Storage has one gigabyte I mostly use iCloud for backups so does anyone have any advice should I delete old backups or something like that by the way there is a picture if you want to see for yourself

What exactly do you think you're backing up?

Apps contacts really

Think about if you _really_ need to back up apps. They can be reinstalled again - do any of your apps store data locally that you can't get back again?

You can't back up apps. Only app data.

It essentially does. If you restore from a backup you get all of your apps back via auto downloads along with home screen layout, wallpaper, app data, etc etc.

I know you get everything back, but like I said, the app itself, from the App Store, isn't backed up.

If you're like me, with slow internet, when you restore a backup (iCloud or computer), the apps take FOREVER to download.

If you don't want to pay for storage, give up on the iCloud backup-- back up to a computer instead (using iTunes if you have a PC or Finder if you have a Mac).

Yeah your right

You can back up only some important things instead of all the data
