Say what a backup actually is
Tell a real backup from a second copy that shares the same fate.
A backup is a second copy of your things, kept somewhere your device is not. If the device goes, the copy stays.
Both halves matter. A copy on the same phone goes wherever that phone goes.
Key points
- A backup is a second copy kept away from the device
- A copy on the same device shares whatever happens to it
What to remember
- Somewhere else is what makes it a backup.
- Two copies in one place is one copy.
Try this
Open Settings on your own phone, search for Backup, and see whether it says on or off.
