[QUOTE="Cr00zng, post: 1843564, member: 318059"] There are several "gotchas" with iMazing that can make your life miserable, if you don't pay attention to how iMazing works. Some of these "gotchas" are due to not RTFM, while others are not clear even in the guides/manual. Encrypt iMazing backup, if you want to restore email and other accounts with passwords. Plain-text backup will not restore accounts with passwords and you'll need to add these accounts manually after the restore has completed. Any data restore, full or just a single data source, starts out with erasing all of the data first on the target device. In another word, if you select only the Calendar to restore, all other data will be erased on the target device. Do full restore instead, if you don't want to clean up other data, such as messages, photos, etc. Email accounts are restored, if you encrypted iMazing backup, regardless of the type of restore selected. Here's the restore option Windows: [ATTACH=FULL]31139[/ATTACH] Please note, that any type of restore will erase all data first. If the restore fails, your only option is to erase the target device that is equivalent to resetting your iPhone. This gets tricky, if you have 2FA authentication enabled for your iCloud account. If you have another Apple device, iPad and/or MacBook where your account can receive text messages, you're fine. You'll need the six digit PIN # from those devices to login to your iCloud account. Restore will complete and your iPhone data restored. [U][COLOR="#FF0000"]If you don't have another Apple device, you'll need to disable 2FA. In another word, only authenticate your iCloud account via password. You can activate the 2FA authentication option, after the restore has completed, if so desired.*[/COLOR][/U] [COLOR="#FF0000"][I]*-That's not correct, 2FA cannot be disabled, please see dscag's comment below...[/I][/COLOR] iMazing works just fine to backup iDevices, update the iOS and move data off and on the iDevice.
