[QUOTE="Cr00zng, post: 1842171, member: 318059"] Thanks everyone for your feedback... I didn't really have to restore my iPhone, manually restoring the data was an option, but did it anyway. One of the reasons was testing the restore feature; I am a firm believer that the backup need to be restored to determine, if it is working. The fact that at the startup the PIN had to be entered twice and iOS didn't remember my Apple ID seems to indicate to me, that the 'Erase target devices' option is really a reset for the iPhone. Had I've known what it does, I would have reinstalled iOS first. The "Do not disturb while driving" activation automatically still does not work on my iPhone. Yes, all of my backups are encrypted, regardless of the platform; iMazing backup was no exception. I actually asked support about encrypting the backup 2-3 month ego, prior to purchasing the licenses. They informed me, that in order to backup email account configurations, encrypted backup is required. All six email accounts had been restored during the restore process, that worked just fine. So did restoring my texts, pictures, call history, contacts, browsers history, settings and wallpapers. Maybe it was my misunderstanding, but... If the app backs up your data, shouldn't that include the Apple ID? Maybe not the ID password and the fingerprint for security/privacy reason, but not even the Apple ID? It's just a fricken email address. Coming from the Linux and Windows world, where image backup is the king, I expected more from the iMazing. I don't use iCloud for my data with Apple; my Apple ID is logged in to the iPhone for getting a handful of apps and for the Wallet app. All five of the apps downloaded and installed, once my Apple ID logged in to the iPhone. Yes, support did response, but their advice on issues is iffy at best, quote from support: That's not true, wiping erases pretty much everything, except the iOS. Restore on the other hand only erases data and will not remove the Apple ID, fingerprints, etc. Support should not give bad advice to customers. Not to mention that the original issue may have not been resolved either, the restore without erasing the device had not been tested as of yet. It seems to me, that I may get a refund from iMazing. I'll test iTunes on Windows just to see, if it is a viable option for backing up iOS. I learned more about my iPhone during the last couple days, than during the two plus years I have it. That's a positive for sure, even if I forget all of it couple of month later...;D [/QUOTE]
