A Backup That Works
Did my first backup of my iPad with Parachute and it went flawlessly. It was easy to set up and the backup was pretty fast to my external hard drive. Haven’t tried the scheduler yet but I suspect that it will be as easy to set up. Only wish is that it could also backup other items like my Contacts, Calendar, Messages and especially, my Notes.

It backed up all my data super easy, files (iCloud) and photos (library).
User friendly app
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. 🙏
Reliable
I could’t believe I mansged to perform acvery fast backup.
Super application
Vraiment top comme application, je ne regrette pas de l’avoir acheté.
Very good, but…
I wish it wasn’t dependant on the iOS Files app when connecting to a home (Synology) NAS.
All iPad and iPhone users should use this app…
Most folks think that keeping their data in iCloud means that it's backed up and it is. But how important is your data? To have an independent backup gives more confidence. Parachute enables you to have that independent backup.
Parachute is also available for your Mac (I purchased my copy today). The Mac version is just as easy to use as the iOS version and works just as well.
A hint for older device owners; lightning pirt devices backup easier to SD Cards.
Parachute is recommended for iOS devices AND Macs.

Thanks so much for the kind review!
Essential
I really like the vision behind this app. It is trying to do something different, and fill a genuine professional gap in IOS / iPadOS functionality (Apple has made the APIs exist under the hood, but no app has exposed that functionality to the user). I can connect an external USB or SSD via USB C and get a useful, fast backup of essentially all my important iCloud data. I can increment the backup from multiple devices e.g. my phone, my iPad. The app has had numerous improvements over the past year, getting faster at backing up photos in particular and having more options to control and organise your backups. With storage getting more expensive and having offline control of your data this app should really become a default system app. There are some UX improvements that can be made, for example backing up to folders by album or having the backup mirror changes but in its current state it is very good.

Genius
Does what it says - the only thing missing is notes - but still brilliant
Excellente idée
Excellente idée que celle de proposer une sauvegarde des documents d’iCloud sur un disque externe ou sur un autre cloud.
Néanmoins les sauvegardes sont lentes, très lentes, trop lentes.
Et il manque l’option de sauvegardes incrémentales qui pourraient être beaucoup plus véloces.
Dans une prochaine mise à jour, j’espère !

Harmful for iPhone
If you want to backup huge iCloud folders (mine is around 900 GB), give it a pass. Drains battery within a few hours with barely 2-3% backed up, and heats up the phone.

Hi O Zee 9, Florian here, Co-Founder at Leitmotif. Can you please reach out to us via contact@parachuteapps.com with some more details about your setup. Parachute Backup itself does intentionally put very little load on your system, as a backup tool is supposed to run on the side and not interfere with your device and network. I strongly suspect that you are backing up to an external drive connected via USB and that this drive is drawing a lot of power, causing the battery drain and the resulting heat. If you intend to back up 900 GB of data, you should use a USB hub that 1) delivers sufficient power and 2) guarantees that your iPhone can stay alive for a few days, because that's how long this will likely take. The reason is that in order to restrict local storage requirements, Parachute Backup will go through your files one by one.
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
New user
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.
