What’s in my backup?
Neither iCloud backups nor backups to your Mac include everything.. When you enable encryption for a local backup (to your Mac), more personal data is included: see . Note that if you forget the password you set, nobody can decrypt your local backup. In contrast to this, iCloud backups are encrypted on Appleâs servers, but Apple can decrypt them. It will only do so at your specific request if you get locked out of your stuff, or if it has received a valid order from law enforcement or the security services.
