Q: how do i backup profiles

hello, i have an iphone5s given to me from my school to use. they gave everybody a phone to use but the rules were to not modify it or break it or i will have to pay a fee. but the problem is that they blocked almost everything i want to use with a mdm profile. Settings>General>Device Management.

it says i can delete the profile but if i did then i would have to pay a fee. is there any way possible to backup my phone, delete the profile and then later on restore it with the previous profile back on?? Please help.

iPhone 5s, iOS 9.3.4, please bhelp

    You really want us to help you break the rules of your school?

    Not me.

    If you want full freedom of use and settings, then buy your own phone. Your school owns the one you have, so obey their rules or hand it back in and say you cannot keep it as you refuse to abide by the rules they impose on use of their device.

     

    BTW, if you remove the MDM profile, their admin system will note that action so it's not as if the school won't know you removed it.  Nor can you, as the device user, backup and restore a profile. The deployment of the profile is under the admin control for whomever manages the MDM.
