Considering that most of use nowadays walk around with a lot of private information on our devices, it makes sense for us not only to protect the iphone with a passcode, but also to protect your Backup stored on your computer (hopefully a Mac) by ticking the Encrypt iPhone backup.
This is EXTREMELY easy to do, simply:
- Right Click on your iPhone inside iTunes
- Click on Backup
- Tick the encrypt iPhone Backup tickbox.
iPhone: Checking the option to encrypt your iPhone when backing up with iTunes will not only increase the security of that data, it will also make restoring more convenient by remembering your Encrypted Mobile Me and email passwords.
Marco Arment, creator of web page-saving service Instapaper, gives us another reason to encrypt our iPhone backups:
You should encrypt your backups, if not for security reasons, for a big convenience gain: encrypted backups will include your email and Mobile Me passwords so you never need to re-enter them after a restore. (emphasis added)
In case you don’t already know, you’ll find the checkbox option to encrypt the backup in the iTunes summary screen. Be sure you remember the encryption password!
This tip is also valid for your iPad or other Future iOS devices you will have.
