What will happen if I click?

[Diana Rose]

Ok so i have the iPhone 4 8 gb. But my question is what will happen if i click delete backup. It says "Do you want to turn off backup and delete all backup data for this iPhone from iCloud?" I don't really understand that because I'm not technologically smart. lol So if anyone could help me, that would be great - thank you.

Basically what a backup is, is all the data from your iPhone (Contacts, texts, calls, music, apps, app progress/data, etc.) saved in iCloud .What this does if your iPhone ever needs to be restored to Factory Default Mode because it isn't working properly, you can sync your iPhone with iCloud and hit "Restore from backup" and it will make your phone exactly like it was when you last backed it up. This also works if your iPhone is permanently disabled and needs to be reconnected to iTunes or if you get a new phone. If you click, you will not be able to do this until you backup again. Better safe than sorry. If I were you I would back up every couple weeks just to be safe.
