Einfach, schön und transparent zu nutzen

Die Anwendung ist sehr intuitiv zu bedienen. Die Oberfläche ist sehr ansprechend und die Backup-Aufgaben von sogar großen Datenmengen (>20 GB) funktionieren sehr stabil sowohl über iOS als auch macOS

Love it…but

The app itself works great. Love it. You can automate it and it does unattended backups on the IPad. On the IPhone 17 Pro, it will not run on automation shortcut. You have to go in and deselect the back up destination which defeats the purpose of automation. I would give it 5 stars if I did not have to go back in every time and respect destination location and hit the play button.

Hi Rrod6902, Florian here, Co-Founder at Leitmotif. Can you please reach out to us via contact@parachuteapps.com with some more details about your destination. Maybe even send us a log file via Settings > Contact Support. We need to find out why this is happening in your setup, so we can fix it.

Take control of your phone backup!

I found that Parachute is just straight to the point and provides an incredible option to just Backup your photos, videos and files to Backup destination of your choice. Common destinations Like Google Drive, OneDrive and an S3 bucket or a local NAS

I have just started using this app, but it looks like it solves enough of my backup issues, so I like that. Also want to thank the devs for adding Shortcuts support, that will also come in handy. Pretty nice app!

Excellent UI

Set up my NAS at home ages ago, this was the app that made it easy to backup 15 years of iCloud files

Funktionierende App für iCloud Backup

Tolles, gut funktionierendes Backup für das iCloud Drive. Das Userinterface hat noch Weiterentwicklungspotenzial. Schnelle Antwort des Entwicklers auf Fragen.
Ganz wichtig, kein Abo!

Definitiv eine Kaufempfehlung.

Unusable

Want to use it for backing up photos from iPad to external disk. Played 10€ and it can not even access the photos from iCloud. It only copied 5 local photos and the 32000 from cloud just were ignored. Please do not use this App.

Hi IdleUser12345, here’s Florian, Co-Founder of Leitmotif. I am sorry to read that Parachute Backup does not work for you. Please reach out to us via the Support option inside the app, so we can help find out what the problem is in your specific case. The app works fine for thousands of users, so it can’t be generally ‘unusable’ as you claim.

This won’t work if you have more than 20k photos

The upload to a hard drive really moves at a glacial pace. I spent three days trying to back up my library and then on one of the days my phone died while I was backing up and I lost all of my progress. I tried to restart backing up, but it has to index from the beginning, and I felt so discouraged. If you feel like watching your phone, pausing before it dies, and then resuming, for like a week and a half this might work.

EDIT: Thank you for the response! I did buy 2 TB of Google Drive space and tried to get the library onto Google Photos-it worked for about two days with no issues, but then failed suddenly at about 40% progress — when it was restarted, I’m not sure if it was scanning, but it was just as slow as the actual uploads, so I gave up. This time the phone was on and connected to power the whole time. I really wanted to love this app!

Hi there, this is Florian, Co-Founder of Leitmotif. Thanks for your feedback. I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with Parachute Backup. Feel free to reach out to us directly from within the app at any time. We are humans and provide support for our users. Re your review title, I beg to differ. I agree that it is more challenging to back up a large library on a mobile device, but Parachute Backup will crunch through your library without any issue. The problems are mainly related to keeping your device powered for a long time and to the fact that iOS takes a lot of liberty to slow down or even stop apps in order to save battery and memory. When Parachute Backup is forced to stop by the system, it will restart backing up next time it is run. It will not start again from the beginning, but it will need to re-scan your library and check already backed up files. This is because we want to ensure that you end up with a complete and consistent backup.

This won’t work if you have more than 20k photos

Best backup for iPad

Easy to install and run. It backup photos and videos from iPad in just minutes. Future backups will only copy files not previously backed up.

A great idea, well executed

I’m a huge fan of this app. It has a few rough edges but that’s OK because its core functionality seems quite solid.

Love it.

This back up app has immeasurably increased my confidence in the security of my data. Virtually all of my important content is either in my iCloud photos or my iCloud files. Parachute operates easily and efficiently from my new MacBook Neo to secure all of the files I use on my MacBook iPad and iPhone. I highly recommended it.

Efficient

This piece of software provides an additional piece of mind for me for my iCloud files and photos. It’s extremely easy to set up and very efficient. I would recommend it to anyone who needs it.

Final the solution we have been waiting for

I’ve tried many ways to have a reliable way to back up files and photos and this is it. It’s not a subscription. That in itself is very important. Don’t rely on iCloud because when a file or photo is removed on your phone it disappears on your iCloud backup. Buy this. You won’t regret it.

There needs to be a restoration workflow.

Room for improvement

When the app works(which takes multiple attempts and hours to do) it does what it’s supposed to do . Annoyingly it backs up randomly when connected to power and once the app has run even partially, I have to hard reset my phone because the speaker crack and pop.

Not good for large libraries

I’ve tried several times now to backup my photo library of about 100,000 files. It will fail consistently at about 60%, and then start back at the beginning. A great idea but unfortunately a waste of money.
