Apple to Reset iCloud Backups on September 22nd, Ahead of GM?

It was made clear for the beta that data could be erased/lost.
I don't think we're ready for GM so soon. Most so with iCloud - is nowhere near a releasable product at the moment. I agree with an earlier poster that the wiping of backups could be to fix some problems with the service.
Sorry
I need help here guys.
Backed up my iPhone 4 to iCloud and got rid of it to get the iPhone 5. Don't have any iPhone at the moment.
How the heck can I download the backup before they reset iCloud? Didn't see this coming! Sucks if I lose the backup, didnt backup to iTunes.

when the google plus app was released, it would crash immediately in the ios5 beta i was running. they released an update weeks later that restored functionality to the app running in beta versions of ios5. i haven't come across many apps at all that don't run properly in ios5 beta 7, with the exception of facebook, which doesn't seem to run properly on any ios versions at all.

especially since a store doesn't need to be open for a software release to happen. if there were rumors of iphone 5/4s releasing around the 23rd, well then i'd be excited.
It could still be released next year or not even with iOS 5 - though unlikely.Ooh, the GMs are almost finished. Come to me, iPhone 5
You sir are screwed.
Erm, it was in the agreement that he signed when he set-up the OS that backups may be deleted prior to go-live.
Yeah Your kinda SOL. You could download the backup to a friends phone that would also have to be running iOS 5 then back it up to your computer then restore his backup. But otherwise your done. Backups normally mean having your stuff in more than one location as a backup. I think the saying is don't put all your eggs in one basket.
iOS 5 GM has to be coming soon if they are deleting all the backups from the betas and starting fresh.. and it has to be the next day or else people will back up there stuff from the beta again and they would have to delete all over again lol.
Apple is deleting device and document backups stored on icloud not purchased content. Your problem has nothing to do with what they are doing tomorrow between 9AM and 5PM Cupertino time.
