Backup iPhone notes on iOS 6 and iOS 5 – using iCloud

 

If you have an iPhone 5 or an iPhone running iOS 6 or iOS 5, you can easily backup your existing iPhone Notes and other data such as iPhone contacts, calendars and emails by enabling iCloud Backup.

 

To enable iCloud backup on your iPhone, go to Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup and move the “iCloud Backup” slider from OFF to ON:

 

 

If you turn iCloud backup on, your iPhone notes will no longer be backed up automatically when you sync with iTunes on your PC.

 

To make sure you have your future iPhone notes are backed up and appear on your iCloud account, you can also enable iPhone Notes Sync via iCloud. To do so, on your iPhone go to Settings > iCloud and make sure that the Notes slider is moved from OFF to ON:

 

 

Backing up iPhone notes on iOS 4 and earlier

 

If you have an older iPhone which does not support the latest iOS version (for example iPhone 3G), you would not be able to use the iCloud in order to backup your iPhone notes.

 

You can backup notes on your iPhone using iTunes on your PC however. To do so:

 

1. Start iTunes on your PC and connect your iPhone

 

2. Let your iPhone appear within the left-hand-side pane of iTunes’ main window

 

3. Right-click on your iPhone and select “Back Up”

 

 

4. iTunes will now create a backup of your iPhone notes and other data such as contacts, emails, and calendars

 

 

5. You can restore this backup later on should you need to, again via iTunes.

 

Note, however that in order to restore your iPhone notes backup with iTunes or the iCloud, you would need to reset your iPhone to the state in which it existed at the time the backup was made. This means that not only your notes will be restored but also all your iPhone settings and data. Your iPhone media tracks such as music and videos will unfortunately be deleted from your iPhone upon restore.

 

You can also use the above method of backing-up iPhone notes if you'd rather not resort to using iTunes.

 

This is how you can keep your iPhone notes backed-up.
