Resume iphone full backup to PC

I was backing up my Iphone to PC using iTunes and with about 5% left the backup was interrupted with the message like "iphone was disconnected". My questions are.


1) will the iphone get disconnected if the PC goes into standby or screen locked mode

2) can i resume the backup from where it stopped or i need to restart all over again.


Thanks

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

Yes, if your PC goes into standby or locks, it can disrupt the backup and disconnect the iPhone. Unfortunately, iTunes backups can’t be resumed from where they stopped, so you’ll need to restart the backup from the beginning. To avoid this, keep your PC active and prevent it from going into standby until the backup is complete.
