Am I able to backup my phone from my computer if my phone is at a different location

My phone got stolen, I am logged onto my computer and do not have my phone. Am I able to backup my iPhone up to date from this computer if the phone is logged off and off? I want to try to save all my stuff on my phone before I log it off and report it.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14

I’m not sure what you mean by that. You cannot access the phone remotely. If you had your phone backed up on your computer or in iCloud, you simply restore it when you get a new device. If you sync photos, etc with iCloud all that info will still be in the cloud.


the best you can do is put the device in lost mode and hope someone finds it
