Back up iPhone Files with iPhone Backup Software

If you want to change or access iPhone backup location easily, you can use the iPhone data transfer software - EaseUS MobiMover. This tool allows you to customize iPhone backup location and back up a specific category.

In addition to being an iPhone backup tool, it also works well as an iOS data transfer tool and a video downloader that helps to:

• Transfer files between an iPhone/iPad/iPod and a computer
• Transfer data from one iDevice to another
• Download online videos to computer or iPhone/iPad via URL

Thus, EaseUS MobiMover will not only help to back up your iPhone files but also works when you need to transfer data or download online videos.

Step 1. Run EaseUS MobiMover and connect your device to the computer. Select the "Backup Manager" pattern in the main interface. Then, select "Backup" to continue.

Step 2. EaseUS MobiMover will display all the iPhone files that are available for backing up. Just select all files by ticking the box next to the "Select All," and then click on "One-Click Backup" to proceed.

Step 3. EaseUS MobiMover will start to back up iPhone files to your computer immediately. Don't suspend the USB connection while backing up.

Once you've made a backup, you can restore this backup to your device when you need it. But note that this will erase your device and get everything replaced by what's in the backup. If you do mind this, just try to use "Phone to PC" feature to back up your device instead.
