So this is the first time I'm having an issue backing up my iPhone. It's also the first time I'm not doing it via iTunes, since it's now built into Finder. I'll give you a rundown of what's happened to me so far.
First backup I ran it looked like it finished. It then said my last backup was 12/31/00 and at 12:00. Was a little strange to see that, but I thought maybe it was a glitch and was just displaying the wrong date. I then restored using that backup and the phone had nothing on it but stock apps. It had my settings and such but none of my apps were on there.
I then tried it again and it gave me an error that my backup was corrupt. I then deleted the backup and tried it again but no luck. Then again, and again until I came to this site to see if anyone has any recommendations.
I was considering the cloud since I pay for the extra storage, and tried that but when my phone restored I didn't have any pictures or videos that were on my phone before. Not sure why this happened. Seems like the backup isn't backing up everything on the phone.
Are there any third party apps that are good that I can use to backup and restore my iPhones? This is a little frustrating that this is the first time I'm trying the backup on Catalina and it's not working.
Any tips or recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
