如何加密和删除iPhone或iPad备份

There was recently a lot of noise in the tech news world about the iPhone and iPad keeping a tracking log of your location, and while that’s now in the past, you might want to consider encrypting your backups anyway. Here’s how to do it.

最近，在科技新闻界，有关iPhone和iPad跟踪您的位置的日志非常多，尽管现在已经过去了，但是您可能仍要考虑加密备份。 这是操作方法。

You can force iTunes to encrypt all your backups easily, but you’ll need to also delete the old backups that aren’t encrypted. Keep reading for how to do both.

您可以强制iTunes轻松加密所有备份，但是您还需要删除未加密的旧备份。 继续阅读如何做这两者。

加密未来的备份 (Encrypting Future Backups)

To encrypt your iTunes backups, connect your device to iTunes and go to the device’s tab in the sidebar. Near the bottom of that screen should be a checkbox for “Encrypt iPhone backup.” Check it, and a dialog box will open asking you to give your backups a password.

要加密iTunes备份，请将设备连接到iTunes，然后转到侧栏中的设备选项卡。 该屏幕底部附近应该是“加密iPhone备份”复选框。 选中它，将打开一个对话框，要求您输入备份密码。

Give it a password that’s secure, but also one that you can remember, as forgetting it will make your backups useless as you won’t be able to restore any of them without it. Once you’ve chosen a password, iTunes will begin making an encrypted backup of your device. When that’s done, you should delete your old, unencrypted backups.

给它提供一个安全的密码， 并且记住一个密码，因为忘记它会使您的备份无用，因为如果没有它，您将无法还原任何备份。 选择密码后，iTunes将开始对设备进行加密备份。 完成后，您应该删除旧的未加密备份。

删除旧备份 (Deleting Old Backups)

To delete backups in iTunes, open its preferences (iTunes -> Preferences on OS X or Edit -> Preferences on Windows) and then go to the “Devices” tab. You should see a list of all your backups along with a handy “Delete Backup” button. Simply select the backup you’d like to delete, and then press the button. Do this for all your unencrypted backups and no one should be able to track your location on your computer without putting some serious effort into it.

要删除备份在iTunes中，打开它的喜好(如iTunes - >在OS X或编辑 首选项 - >在Windows 首选项 )，然后进入“设备”选项卡。 您应该会看到所有备份的列表以及方便的“删除备份”按钮。 只需选择要删除的备份，然后按按钮。 对所有未加密的备份执行此操作，并且如果不花大力气，任何人都无法跟踪您在计算机上的位置。
