First, make sure your iPad is backed up to iCloud

If you back up your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you’ll have a copy of your information to use if your device is ever

replaced, lost, or damaged. Backups let you transfer data from your last device to your new one.

Make a backup using iCloud

1. In iOs 8 or later, select Settings> iCloud>Backup

2. Make sure iCloud Backup is on:

3. Tap Backup Now.

4. Make sure the backup is finished by selecting Settings > iCloud > Storage >Manage Storage and then select

your device. The backup you just made should appear in the details with the time and backup size.

Back up automatically in iCloud

After you've turned on iCloud Backup, iCloud can automatically back up your device each day. iCloud makes these

daily automatic backups only if:

- Your device is connected to a power source.

- Your device is connected to a Wi-Fi network.

- Your device's screen is locked.

Make backup using iTunes

1. Open iTunes and connect your device to your computer.

2. Save content that you downloaded from the iTunes Store or App Store by clicking File > Devices > Transfer

Purchases. If you're using Windows and you don't see a File menu, press the Alt key.

Windows and you don't see a File menu, press the Alt key.

4. After the process ends, you can see if your backup finished successfully by clicking iTunes Preferences >

Devices. You should see the name of your device with the date and time that iTunes created the backup.
