yeah but it's manual over USB right? You used to be able to set it to back up automatically once per day over wifi.

Not sure I never tried a local wifi backup. USB is generally faster and more reliable.

but it’s manual which is usually less reliable than an automatic option. the old wifi option was reliable, and it happened every day without having to think about it. Also cloud backups now go over wifi just fine.

Ah, they probably got rid of that when they stopped making airports with HDs in them for network backups. I don’t think it ever was designed to work with 3rd party backup devices.

yes it did, iTunes backed it up to its pc/Mac drive, same as a USB backup.
