We advice all customers to back up their devices before any service. With an up to date backup you ensure all of your important messages, photos and other data is safe. You can back up your devices at home before the service or you can buy back up service from us. The backup is stored on our services encrypted drive and then restored to your device is needed, or we can make the back up on your empty external drive, or you can by an external drive from our store.
Backing up your Mac to an external hard drive is easy with Time Machine app that is already installed on your computer. iCloud only synchronises the data you have picked in system settings under your Apple account, while Time Machine makes a complete copy of your computer.

iOS devices should be cleared of all personal data before service, so it is important your back up is up to date. In some cases we will need to reset iOS devices to factory settings during service. You can backup your iPhone or iPad fully to your iCloud account or on your computer. You can read more about backing up your iOS device on Apple's website.
