Check the backup actually ran
Find the date of your last backup and know whether it is still doing its job.
Every backup screen shows the date of the last one that finished. That date is the only proof.
Backups stop quietly — a full account, a changed password — and the switch stays on.
Key points
- The last backup date is the only proof a backup is working
- A full account stops backups quietly, with the switch still on
What to remember
- Twice a year on this screen is enough.
- Believe the date, not the switch.
Try this
Find the last backup date on your own phone tonight. If it is older than a week, look into it.
