- 📦Parachute Backup Mobile updated to version 2.0.4YOUR BACKUPS AT A GLANCE
The main screen is rebuilt around what's most relevant: whether a backup is running, how long it will take, and what all your backups have added up to.
MIRRORING
Photos and Files backups can now follow your library and folders: items you delete leave the backup too. A Deleted folder keeps them first, for as long as you choose.
MADE FOR IPHONE DUO
The main screen meets the fold with the status on one half and the controls on the other, and fits the outer screen when closed.
SHORTCUTS AND SIRI, REIMAGINED
A new Start Backup action replaces Start Photo Backup and Start File Backup, joined by actions to stop a backup and ask how it is going. Your existing shortcuts keep working.
ALSO IN THIS UPDATE
• The Live Activity has been redesigned.
• Much improved error reporting.
• New progress sounds. You can turn them off in Settings.
• Many other small improvements and bug fixes.
• Version 2.0.1: Minor fixes and new screenshots.
Version 2.0.2
• New: Option to keep deleted items forever.
• Fixed a crash shortly after starting a backup.
• More reliable mirroring, free space and progress for network share Destinations.
Version 2.0.3
• Drive or network share not connected? Parachute Backup now tells you which destination to connect, in the app, on the Lock Screen and in a notification. The backup continues on its own once it is back.
• Backups started from Shortcuts now wait for a network share that takes a while to reconnect, instead of stopping.
• When your cloud storage asks you to sign in again, the backup stops right away instead of waiting for hours. Sign in from the main screen and the backup runs again.
• The Keep Items duration for mirrored Files backups no longer snaps back to 90 Days.
• Photos Settings on iPhone now shows your changes right away.
• The Destination row shows drive or share and folder, like "NAS ▸ Backups".
• Fixed random characters in front of some network share names.
Version 2.0.4
• When a download from iCloud stalls, a countdown now shows how long Parachute Backup waits for it.
• Stop now ends a backup right away, also while it waits for a download.
• Unchanged items in OneDrive folders with more than 200 items are no longer uploaded again on every backup.
• Items with "%20" in their name now copy to S3 instead of failing with a permission error.
• Network shares: Start Backup in Shortcuts no longer reports an error while the backup waits for the share, and you get one notification instead of two when the wait runs out.
• A document that a network share refused to replace is no longer reported as a Photos library that is not included.… more - ✏️Parachute Backup Mobile: new iPad screenshots· FR

About Parachute Backup Mobile
Parachute is your backup companion for iCloud Photos and iCloud Drive. It backs up your memories — photos, videos, and documents — to storage you control, whether that’s an external drive, Google Drive, OneDrive, S3 Buckets, network drives/NAS, external hard drives and more. With Parachute, you get peace of mind and full ownership of your data, free from lock-in.
Your Data, Your Way
• Back up your entire iCloud Photos library (including Shared Albums) and folders from iCloud Drive.
