1. Exporting from Apps

2. Using Email to backup

3. Backing up Photos

4. Using Edmodo to backup

5. Using a cloud storage system to backup

6. Using your Chesterton OneDrive to backup

You need to backup anything important to you on your iPad. Using a tablet

device is not the same as a PC and is not backed up automatically by our

servers.

Because you use many different Apps (some we don’t even know of) there

isn’t a single way to backup from each App. So please look through the

following pages and decide which would be best for the work in each App

and use that.

YOU CANNOT BACKUP AND RESTORE INFORMATION FROM iCLOUD. Please use

the following:

Export from APP

You will need to export or share the file you want to backup from the App you created it

in.

This is nearly always achieved by the export, share or Open in menu item

See screenshots below of examples how to do this in StripDesign, BookCreator and Puppet

Pals. Most apps allow you to do this. Once exported you will get an option of where to

export – via email, dropbox, onedrive, photostream etc – see next slides for what to do

next!

1. Backing up via Email

The easiest way to backup work is to email it to your self. In

any app if you see this icon click on it and you should

get the option to email it. Then just email it to your self.

Backing up your Photos

If you have photos you can set up a photo stream on iCloud which will back them up to the cloud.

Simply go to settings on your iPad – iCloud and then turn on the Photos option.

This means that any photos you take will be saved to your iCloudphotostream and you can view them / restore them to any other device.

You can login to www.icloud.com to check they are stored correctly

Many Apps will save your work to the photostream so its goodto back it up

This setting will only backup your photos after it is switched on. Itwill not backup any photos taken before this setting is switched on.

If you have photos on your device from before switching on photostream then you will need to email them or save to the cloud.
