Backing up iPhone Data especially contacts regularly is really a good habit, which can help you survive from unexpected data loss caused by accidental deletion, jailbreak, iOS 12.1.4 update and many other scenarios. Normally, backup can be done with 2 traditional ways. The first, backing up with iTunes, is an easy way to back up contacts, calendar, photos, and more. The second option is to sync with iCloud.
