Imagine about this: on your iPhone, you have many vital data that you often consult. Your everyday activities depend on them. For some reasons, you haven't saved these iPhone data. Then, the unimaginable happens. You lost your iPhone. Your daily activities were severely affected, and you lost a substantial amount of income in the process.

Have you ever found yourself in the above scenario? If so, you would readily testify that it is the worst thing to happen to anyone, especially someone who uses his iPhone to conduct business.

Saving Health and Activity data from your device may trigger encryption. If that happens, locate and tap the box "Encrypt backup" and create a password.

One particular advantage of saving all data from iPhone tocomputer using iTunes is that it comes directly from Apple. That means the method is reliable. Besides, it is free and easy to follow.
