@film_girl Family member recently had their iPad corrupted. The backups? Also corrupt. So if you restored it it’d go into a boot loop.
No solution but to start from scratch. They had been carying the install since iPad 1. All their icons in their favorite spots, preferences, etc.
Devastated.
I didn’t even know it was possible beforehand.

@foobarsoft Oh no! I didn’t know this was possible either but I’ve always been freaked out by whole back box nature of iOS backups. Thr fact that I can’t make an easy backup of my iCloud backup and I can’t test it is deeply, deeply frustrating.
