Q: WARNING - How to lose your Health Data

I recently had a problem with my iphone and the online help chap discovered that iOS 8.4 was corrupted so told me how to back up and reinstall a new copy.

 

BUT as I backed up to iTunes without encryption, all my health/activity data has disappeared from my watch as that was affected by the iphone restore and the watch reset itself.

 

At the moment there is no alert/warning on iTunes to advise that if you don't encypt your backup, you will lose your health and activity and workout data.  

 

YOU MUST encrypt if you want to keep your health app / activity / workout DATA - OR back up to iCloud

 

I have submitted a request to put on warning on iTunes - but in the meantime .......
