In 2017 I lost my iPad. I bought an iPad Air recently but, when I connect it to my iMac the only choice is to set it up as a new iPad or restore it from the old one. If setting it up as a new one involves losing all its current settings I don’t want to do that. If the only way to back it up with the current settings is by deleting the backup from the old iPad I would be prepared to do that. Is there a third alternative allowing the previous backup to be retained and allowing the current settings to be kept?
