What kind of data does Parachute Backup cover?

Q: What kind of data does Parachute Backup cover?

Parachute Backup saves two things: your photo library, meaning your photos and videos at full resolution including originals, RAW files, Live Photos and edits, and the folders you choose, whether they are in iCloud Drive or only on your device. It does not save data from other apps: Apple Notes, Calendar, Reminders, Contacts and Messages are not included, and neither are Passwords, Safari bookmarks, Shortcuts, other apps' data or system settings. Your albums and the Photos library database are not saved either, only the photos and videos in it. Parachute Backup is not a full device backup, so it cannot set up a new device exactly like your old one. On the Mac, Time Machine does that; on iPhone and iPad, iCloud Backup or a backup with your Mac does.
