What's New in Parachute Backup Mobile

1.9.4

September 18, 2026

Parachute Backup is ready for iOS/iPadOS 27. This update fixes problems reported by users: • A destination within a source folder will no longer be backed up into itself. • Large folder backups use less memory and can be paused or canceled instantly. • Photos backup can no longer hang as iCloud Photos downloads stall. • Files downloaded for iCloud Drive backups are always properly removed. • Files deleted from a Google Drive or OneDrive backup will always be restored on the next run. • Folders with a "+" in their name are no longer duplicated on Google Drive. • Parachute Backup stays responsive while counting very large libraries and folders.

Working great now, I first had to figure out how to format my SSD to exFat in order to configure a destination file using my 17pro iPhone. Maybe a message if not able to get a configured Destination file to check format status of the SSD. Backing up now is so easy, love the way it organizes the picture files by years, months and days.

Nice Backup Solution for iPad OS

Very simple operation. Fast. I a see the sequential changes. Finally a backup solution that works. I backup to an external drive via USB or I can use the doubled ended USD C direct to the iPad and external drive.

Funktioniert Top ⭐️

Spiegeln statt inkrementell wäre noch super als Option, damit in iCloud gelöschte Dateien auch aus dem Backup entfernt werden. 🙏
