# Backup with libimobiledevice
|
|
|
|
If you have correctly [installed libimobiledevice](../install.md) you can easily generate an iTunes backup using the `idevicebackup2` tool included in the suite. First, you might want to ensure that backup encryption is enabled (**note: encrypted backup contain more data than unencrypted backups**):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
idevicebackup2 backup encryption on
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that if a backup password was previously set on this device, you might need to use the same or change it. You can try changing password using `idevicebackup2 backup changepw` or resetting the password by resetting only the settings through the iPhone's Settings app.
|
|
|
|
Once ready, you can proceed performing the backup:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
idevicebackup2 backup --full /path/to/backup/
|
|
```
