How to copy the game to another phone. How to backup games on android

It so happened that Apple created Game Center for iOS, but limited its capabilities. Saved game data on mobile devices can either be copied to iCloud, or disappeared forever if the application is deleted or the iPhone or iPad is out of order. Many active players will agree that it is extremely unpleasant to lose progress in one game or another, the passage of which has been spent weeks or even months. Absolutely the same situation with applications. It is this problem, more precisely, even its occurrence, we will try to prevent with the help of this instruction.

To begin with, we define what kind of application in front of us. Unfortunately, not all developers provide for saving data of a program or game in iCloud, but from time to time such care about users still takes place. Usually the application warns that it intends to save data in iCloud. Less commonly, it allows you to customize this process, for example,. Suppose that you do not know whether or not this particular game or program is copying information to iCloud. We will try to determine it.

Open up Settings -\u003e iCloud -\u003e Storage   and study the section " Documents and data". Here are the applications that store their data in iCloud, and, therefore, they are securely stored in the cloud, from where they can be returned to the device at any time.

Unfortunately, not all applications are visible this way. For example, many games tied to the use of Internet access, save their data on the servers of the developer. This and, and, and many other projects. Here, alas, it is impossible to say with certainty whether your data will remain after you delete the game and its subsequent recovery, so in this case it is best to be safe and make a full backup of the data, which is what this material is about.

There are two options for further action. The first - create standard backup   using iTunes or iCloud. The data in this case will not go anywhere and will be restored from the backup when needed. There is one disadvantage of this approach - you cannot choose which data to recover. In addition, most users of the Apple cloud service are still limited in free space. You can clean up iCloud a bit and set up a backup using this one.

In a simplified form, the process is as follows:

1. We connect the iOS device to the network for charging and connect to the wireless Wi-Fi network.
  2. Go to Settings -\u003e iCloud -\u003e Backup -\u003e Create Backup.

Now we have to wait, because the process is highly dependent on the amount of data uploaded to the cloud, as well as on the speed of access to the Internet. Do not forget to pre-optimize the size of the backup using the instructions above.

To restore a device from a backup, you must reset it to the factory settings and during the initial configuration, select a restore from a backup to iCloud. Again, you have to wait and, as you can see, this method is not very suitable for backup of one or several applications.

For backup individual applications   we will use the program iToolswhich you could already read some time ago. Then the whole process is step by step:

1. Download iTools (OS X, Windows) and install.
  2. Close iTunes, connect the iOS device, launch iTools.
  3. The device is recognized, go to the Apps tab and select the desired application.
  4. Press the Backup button and select the place where to save the application file, agree to include the data file there (required).

Now you have a complete copy of the game or program with all the data on the disk, which you can restore or even transfer to another device at any time. To install, simply drag the file to the iTools window when the device is connected, or click the Install button.

As alternatives   You can offer to copy not the entire application, but only the Documents folder. Its contents are often all your achievements in the game or the results of the work in the program. Often, but not always. Some games subsequently refuse to see the data thrown in this way.

Using one of the presented methods or their combination, you can reliably save data from almost any game or program in case of possible surprises. Still, it is sometimes better to prevent the occurrence of a problem than later to regret for the lost information, even if it is preservation in the next game.
