What's wrong with an iCloud backup? Re: batteries, I dropped my phone off at 10 and it was ready to pick up at 1, that was at Covent Garden.

iCloud backups won’t back up some password data or authenticator apps like Authy. Encrypted (specifically) iTunes backups preserve all that stuff.

That's good. When I looked at getting it done they were pretty conservative in their estimates of how long it would take.

Phone is around 70gb. Therefore the backup wouldn't fit on the free icloud one...
I wanted to use the PC one as it seems to be far faster to restore too.

I have an appointment booked at the apple store to look at my battery.
What's the chances of getting my phone back the same day?
Annoyingly I went to back my phone up last night and itunes can only back up to your main drive. Which in my case is an SSD and not particularly big.
I ended up finding a third party program that would allow me to back up to another drive, £30 odd quid later and I think I've backed my phone up.
