Encrypted backup -> remote storage -> factory reset -> cross border -> restore backup.

How can you do this especially if you don’t pay for cloud storage? I have self hosted cloud

But how would I backup everything from an iPhone? I got photos and contacts down. Idk about the rest. Maybe you’ve given me a new project.

Pay for one month of iCloud, it's $3 to $11 depending on need. Cancel after trip.

Macs, or iTunes on Windows. There are two modes of a backup: actual one or backup in name only (like the names of the apps, I wish the latter fucks off).

iCloud.

Local iTunes backups don’t work over a VPN. Those are your only two ways to get a system level backup.

Edit: Downvotes don’t make it any less true.

no-knowledge means that they only can share the encrypted data (AES 256), they don't know the content and can't share it, even with an court order. Only the user itself can do it the company only can give an 🤷‍♂️🖕
