It is likely that many of us already do all the management of our devices via iCloud with system updates via OTA. It remains to be seen how this option will look with the next iOS update to version 8, but as it is now it is a good option to save information stored in the cloud locally on our computer.Īs we can see, DiskAid has many of the features that iTunes should offer. Cloud documentationĭiskAid also allows access to the content of our iCloud account, including documents and photos. Of course, iCloud or iTunes will always be there as a complete backup system, but DiskAid offers us a more comfortable solution to copy specific content and to the destination that we choose. Photos and videosĭo you want to make a backup of your photos or just some of them? DiskAid is the solution. With DiskAid we will be able to make partial copies of messages, notes and contacts, which will allow us to later recover them without having to restore a complete copy of the system. playlists, ratings, times a song has been played, etc. music library copyĪnother feature of DiskAid that is not available in iTunes (mainly due to copyright management) is the transfer of music between the iOS device and the computer, including the metadata as well, i.e. Very useful in work environments with different teams and users. Another of DiskAid’s great features is that it supports multiple devices at the same time, that is, we can send a file to several computers at the same time. We have already mentioned that the transfer of files from the computer to the iOS device can be done via cable or through the Wi-Fi network. FIleApp supports multiple file formats and even has options to edit images or play multimedia content. Later access to the files that we have left on the iOS device can be done with the system’s own applications (for example, if we have sent videos to VLC) or through the FileApp app (iTunes link), developed by the same company as DiskAid. This function is really interesting, since it eliminates the restriction imposed by iTunes regarding the transfer of files to the locations established by default. We can use DiskAid to transfer files to and from the device (also via Wifi if we have it configured that way) including music, photos, text messages, notes, contacts, etc. Also, if we lose information and want to recover it, the only way is to restore the entire backup.ĭiskAid offers us the possibility of recovering only part of the copy, indicating where we want it to be stored on the computer, scheduling backup copies, cloning devices from the data of a source computer, etc. This is a problem in terms of the space occupied on the computer or in the cloud and the time required to restore the data. Backup and partial recoveryīoth iTunes and iCloud allow backup and restore complete of our devices. Something very useful to recover space or to keep a backup copy per application. Application backup and recoveryĪs we mentioned before, DiskAid allows you to save a copy of an application with all its data (a game and its trailer, a photo editing app and all the images), store it on your computer, and later recover it on the device as if it weren’t. This first connection is via cable, but we can activate the communication Wifi for later connections. Once the application is downloaded, the first thing we have to do is connect the device to the computer (DiskAid has versions for OS X and Windows). With DiskAid we can make a backup copy of the game, delete it and recover it later, maintaining our level of progress.īut DiskAid allows you to do much more. Let’s suppose that we have downloaded Real Racing 3, that we have managed to make a lot of progress, but that, at a given moment, we need to free up space on the iPad to install a new version of iOS, put in a movie, store photos, etc. For this, we gave a series of tips, including the use of DiskAid to back up applications, including their data, and then delete them from the device, knowing that, if necessary, we could recover them without any problem. A few weeks ago we were talking about how to save space on our iOS devices.
