How do get iCloud Backup and SanDisk iXpand to backup/copy arbitrary
files on my iPad?
I have downloaded a bunch of files in Azul Media Player, but I don't
see a way to select them for back in iCloud Backup or copy using a
SanDisk iXpand memory key with its iXpand Sync software.
No problems with files in the limited number of known places:
For the iXpand:
Music, Photos, Videos, and a couple of other places, but not
an arbitrary place or where Azul Media Player puts them by default
For iCloud backup:
Photos, Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Safari, Notes, and
Keychain, but again not arbitrary or specifically where Azul Media
Player puts them.
Also:
The iCould backup "server" seems to have up to 3 backups
Thus, if you delete a file on your, for instance Apple iPad Air 2,
you can restore from the 3rd backup back. This doesn't do you
much good if you let things run automatically each day and don't
notice that you deleted something by accident at the start of the
previous month.
Is it possible to save more than that with iCloud backup?
Is there another program that can do that?
An Apple support person said that you aren't charged for the
old backups. Is that true, are am I charged for all space used
in the iCloud servers?
And:
Is there software for iPads to keep multiple versions of files
like I can with many programs for Windows (SpiderOak, and CrashPlan,
two that I use and have unlimited storage space for a fixed charge.)
I can also "prune" the backups on the servers so that I don't
clog things up by having terabytes of movies that I could
finish watching the first time.
There seem to be a couple of programs for iPads and the like
that allow you to edit a "ball" that is made by iCould backup,
but I don't know the names. Also, I don't know if they can
be set to run automatically, or you have to manually download the
"ball" for each iCould backup to your Windows computer.
Also, I didn't see anything to automatically merge the balls on
my Windows machine, so I'd have to manually merge stuff.

Ipad was intentionally designed with the idea of denying users the
freedom to create a backup of the contents of the ipad.
It even was intentionally designed with the idea of denying users
the freedom to put arbitrary files on it.
Try saving an svg image on the ipad... it just doesn't work.

Well ok, with a jailbroken ipad, I can still actually save the
file on the ipad, but then it can be a hassle to get it into a
particular app (like inkpad), as most apps can't access the
filesystem (so you'd have to take a detour via dropbox or
something).

bitching and moaning because even though Apple designed it this way we
bought it anyway and now unrealistically expect it to be different) have
no such issues to work around. : )

ipad for a very limited range of activities.
It's really not such a complicated task to get an svg image in a
vector graphics app like inkpad, but on the ipad you need to go
through a lot of silly extra steps. You can't simply copy and
paste the image from the browser into the inkpad app.

blame the authors of inkpad for not supporting share or even svg.

in a location where it's accessible to PS Touch?
I can save the svg file on my android smartphone in a location
where it's accessible to PS Touch.
Are you saying the PS Touch developers are intentionally limiting
the functionality of the ipad version compared to the android
version?

more likely that there is no demand for such a feature so they didn't
bother. they have more important things to do that more people want.
had you paid for the app, you could request features, but since you
stole it, you're the *last* person they'll listen to.

actually save the svg file on the ipad (without jailbreaking
the ipad).
If it's so trivial, you should be able to show a screenshot
of how you pull that off exactly.

because there is no way to store svg files on the ipad (unless
you jailbreak it).
On the android device, there is no such restriction and so
PS Touch will simply open the svg file from the device.

It's not like PS Touch can't handle svg files, it's just
that iOs won't allow PS Touch to access any svg files on
the device.

You can babble all you like about how the filesystem supposedly
no longer matters, but you're unable to show how to actually get
the svg file from the browser onto the ipad and subsequently how
to get it into PS Touch.

I want. It's just that on the ipad you need to perform various
cumbersome extra steps (like uploading to and downloading from
dropbox) to accomplish a simple objective like opening an svg

which allows one to save the svg file on the ipad into the files
section of the mercury browser and subsequently I have to export it
to dropbox and finally I can import it from dropbox into inkpad
and finally, from inkpad, I can copy it and paste it into PS Touch.
So it works on the ipad, you just have to jump through a few extra
hoops (compared to android).

My mistake: iCloud Backup was backing up things from Azul, but I
didn't dig deep enough:
Setting line iCloud < Storage
(make sure Wi-Fi connected first) > Manage Storage
Backups > {This iPad}
"BACKUP OPTIONS" seems to have all of the files for all of the
apps show in "Next Backup Size"
So, things evidentially will get backed up if they weren't
already backed up.
I will wait until I delete all of the Azul files in my downloads
and then see what happens to the "This iPad" "Backup Size" and my
total space used.
(I think that "Next Backup Size" will decrease by the 17.4 GB that
Azul has now to about 200MB which is everything else. I will
then see what happens to "Backup Size" and my space available.
[I think the space available won't decrease until 3 backups after
I have deleted all of the files in Azul. If so, one of my
original questions still stands: How to you recover files that you
deleted accidentally?)

challenging the apple fanboys to show me how they can accomplish a
simple task on the ipad.
But of course they can't show me how to do it, because there is no
simple way to do it on the ipad and by contrast there is a simple
way on the android device to accomplish that simple task.
Just to illustrate that the ipad is frequently not quite as
convenient and straightforward to use than an android device
because of all kinds of idiotic restrictions of ios.

system. No matter what apps you install, it will not allow you
to save svg files on the device in a location that is accessible
to all apps.
That's why you will only find solutions online that involve
some cloud storage service like dropbox, where there are
no limitations regarding storing svg files.
But then you will need an app that can interface with dropbox
and while inkpad will import svg files from dropbox, ps touch
can only access the creative cloud storage space and dropbox
and creative cloud don't seem to like each other very much
(so there is no convenient way to get files from dropbox
into the creative cloud).

anything.
You're just unwilling to acknowledge the obvious limitations of
ios that are evident from the way svg files can simply be stored
and opened on an android device, while you need all kinds or
special trickery (like dropbox) to perform the same task on ios.
The fact that you can still use svg files via dropbox on the
ipad also shows the idiotic nature of the restrictions of the
ios system. Since there is no plausible explanation for the
reason why you need to resort to cloud storage to work with
svg files on the ipad.
If the use of svg files was restricted on the ios system because
of a security issue associated with svg files, you'd expect
the ipad to refuse svg files from dropbox just the same.

You consider a minor edge case that affects hardly anyone at all to be
"frequently"?

Anytime you transfer files between devices using WiFi, you're using
cloud storage, even if it is fleeting and temporary.

Red herring or straw man (I often get the two confused, but your
