- Calendar Backup
- Pictures
- Videos Backup
- Contacts
- Auto Camera Upload if selected
The iBackup app is friendly and easy to use. The screenshot to the left offers you a view of the interface on your iPhone.
From the settings gear icon in the app, you can set the reminder on how often the app should backup your selected data.
I did notice that when backing up pictures and videos, it does take awhile on the initial backup.
The restore process is solid. This is a great tool to keep your most important iPhone components backed up safely to the cloud!

Contact Backup Free
A second app that will only backup your contacts to the cloud and/or .VCF format is called Contact Backup Free. This is another free tool that works great and is easy to use.

The interface is super easy to use. Once the app is downloaded you click on the Backup icon on the bottom and it sends all your contacts to the Cloud.
An additional feature that I thought was nice is the Email feature. Once the backup is completed, you can select the Email button at the bottom of the screen and send your contacts to your email address.
That is handy because all of your contacts will then be saved as a .VCF file as an attachment in email.
If you lose a contact, simply go to your e-mail and click on the .VCF file and all contacts will be restored to your iPhone.
The only thing that you have to contend with is the ads that run at the top. But the app is fully functional!
