Why does my backup file only 822MB? my phone memory usage is 10.8GB.. and it only took 822MB?
iPhone 5
Apps and media are not part of the backup. They can be re-downloaded for free and should already be in the iTunes library on your computer anyway. Backing them up again would be redundant and make the backup unnecessarily large.
but, while i backup the phon. the loading shows that it backup my apps.
Check the "iTunes will back up the following information" section of this article. It reaffirms what KiltedTim said above.
i dont think so it backup my camera roll. all of my photo took 600MB of photo, and for music 1.5GB.. why does the backup folder only has 822MB? or itunes make another folder for photo backup?
Low size of backup file
