The time for backups is before disaster strikes. After is too late.


Are you sure you didn’t do ANY of these ways of preserving photos and videos?


  • Archive or make copies of the information you store in iCloud
  • emailed, texted or messaged the photos to friends or family
  • iCloud photo sync
  • iCloud backup
  • iTunes backup
  • Transfer your photos to your computer via USB cable
  • Apple Photo Stream
  • Sync to Google Photos
  • Sync to some other photo archiving service such as Shutterfly
  • Sync to Dropbox
  • Sync to box.com
  • Sync to Microsoft OneDrive
  • Sync to Amazon Photos
  • back up to Livedrive
  • Backup to any other backup or archiving service


If the answer is no to all of the above your photos are gone forever.
