That's where our question began...
Backup's the name, recovery's the game, and if you want to see if your backup is worth a S*#!, try restoring your device, computer, Server to challenge it...
Don't be afraid, if you trust your software then you should be able to restore a system anytime you want, and in record time...
The computer or server is going to take the longest to restore, but at tops, 30 minutes to be back online exactly like you were before you started...
There is always additional time for tinkering to make sure the software and printers are lined up, but 30 minutes in the worst case scenario...
Devices, like iPhones and Tablets should be much quicker, 15 minutes tops to restore...
Our iPhone from factory reset to restore was 10 minutes, and that was with a reboot...
How To Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings:
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
There was something strange that happened, for some reason the device couldn't be recognized once it was reset, we had to restart our PC in order for iTunes to recognize the device...
We think it has something to do with putting a password into the phone from the welcome screen, it might have hidden the trust window, or it was the auto-lock, not sure...
We have heard of people having issues with leaving their Malware Programs running while restoring, but we didn't have any issues...
We did disable the Webroot program to see if that was blocking iTunes, but it wasn't, so we just restarted and it connected...
One odd thing, the rule of thumb to backup is that you DO NOT LOSE DATA, and we did...
We sent out a text just before we backed up our device, and once it restored, we noticed that the text was not there...
Not sure why that was, but for customers we used to write a text note on the desktop of a Windows machine for customers to show them that they don't lose data with recovery or system restore, and every time that file was right on the desktop...
So Apple, you need to work on that...
The Apps took the longest to install, that part took a little longer than the restore of 10 minutes, but they just do their own thing in the background, add about 10 extra minutes for that...
Outlook wanted you to retype your email address and password, a couple of notification settings questions, but everything was there...
We have to say that we were impressed with the restore feature of Apple's backup for the iPhone and can safely say if you have kept your programs up to date, you shouldn't have a problem...
We made sure that iTunes was up to date before we did our backup, made sure the phone was up to date before we did our backup, and even the iOS came back to 10.3.3, just like before...
We have heard that other people didn't have the latest iOS when they restored, all we can say is that it might have been that you didn't have the latest iOS to begin with...
Oh yeah, what's the difference between Sync and Backup, here's an article that sums that question right up...
https://appletoolbox.com/2013/06/ios-difference-between-sync-and-backup/
If you're going to trust your device, you've gotta trust your backup...and that's a fact!
**UPDATE**
FYI This was all done on a Window 7 machine, come to find out that's the best OS to do your backup with for iPhone...
The Word is with Windows 10 is where the problem begins, but not so much with Windows 10 so much...
Apparently, if you buy a system with Windows 10 and iTunes already loaded on it, you won't have any problems, but if you load iTunes after the fact, that's where the problem begins...
It's not just one or two computers, it's a widespread panic of events...
Now as good as people think they are out there with backup we know they aren't, even Millennials think they are smarter than their elders, but they still try to text and drive :-D...
VOICE ON HANDS OFF M's...
We however have a challenge on the table that this old ass ASUS board will last until 2020, with Window 7, and it won't be easy...
Our Chipset has been failing for the last two years, and it's getting worse, but we're persistent...
As far as we know this is only a Windows 10 issue, not an Apple problem...
We're working on getting a Windows 10 machine to challenge this so called problem with Backup...tbc...
We always like to leave em' singin'...
Widespread Panic Slippin' into Darkness (10/19/2014 Memphis, TN)...

**UPDATE**
There are two possible reasons why the Restore is not working with a machine that iTunes was loaded after the fact...
First of all, think about "after the fact" you have to load iTunes after loading Windows, regardless if it's Windows 10 machine off the shelf or...an upgraded system...
We'll put money on it that Backup/Restore is failing due to two reasons...
One, the upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 is causing the problem with iTunes, we suggest, uninstalling iTunes, upgrade to Windows 10 then reload iTunes...
Second, the upgrade to Windows 10 from 7 was done with their malware program still installed...
Malware programs are meant to protect Windows files from being altered, so if you're upgrading to Windows 10, your altering the Windows files and the Malware program could be affecting it...
For a sure fire way to get it to work, uninstall your Malware Program and iTunes, upgrade to Windows 10 then reinstall iTunes then your malware program...
However, the third way leaves a question open, so if you want to have fun and if you have time, do it both ways, I bet it'll fix the issue...

Rules for Radicals...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_for_Radicals
"Saul Alinsky was a brilliant man. Evil, but brilliant. Unfortunately, whether we like it or not, everyone on the Left from the President on down is playing by his rules in the political arena"
…First rule of power tactics: Power is not only what you have but what the enemy thinks you have.
…The second rule is: Never go outside the experience of your people.
…The third rule is: Wherever possible go outside the experience of the enemy. Here you want to cause confusion, fear, and retreat.
…The fourth rule is: Make the enemy live up to their own book of rules.
…The fourth rule carries within it the fifth rule: Ridicule is man’s most potent weapon.
…The sixth rule is: A good tactic is one that your people enjoy.
…The seventh rule is: A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag
…The eighth rule: Keep the pressure on.
…The ninth rule: The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.
…The tenth rule: The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition.
…The eleventh rule is: If you push a negative hard and deep enough it will break through into its counter side.
…The twelfth rule: The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative.
…The thirteenth rule: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.

Apple iOS 10.3.3 Update
Another update is out by Apple, but as always we recommend waiting a few days to enjoy the calmness and prepare for any storm that may be following...
It looks as though this will be the last update for Apple in the 10's, so be prepared for 11...
We feel that any phone under 7 might have issues with 11, so tread cautiously if updating to 11 and make sure you back up first...

http://bgr.com/2017/07/20/ios-10-3-3-update-fixes-iphone-broadpwn-malware/
*UPDATE**
iPhone 7, 6 and 5s have now been updated without a hitch...
If you're phone was running good before it'll be running just fine after updating to 10.3.3, with one exception...the iPhone 5s will be running better...
iOS 10.3.2 left the iPhone 5s with latency issues with the keyboard, hard to press icons and glitchy screen changes...
You'll be relieved to know the 10.3.3 fixes all those issues, so it's best to update as soon as possible...
As always, check your iTunes make sure it's up to date, if so, backup your iPhone just in case you have to go backwards, oh, and make sure you have enough room on your phone first...
The update only took about 5 minutes, have fun...

Here's an Idea...
Match Face...
Have you ever been on the other side of the phone thinking about what the other person looks like...
Or what about listening to the radio, trying to figure out what the person looks like by the sound of their voice...
When it comes to radio, you can rest assured there is a reason why they are the voice on the radio, hence the term, you have a face for radio...
Although when talking on the phone to someone you have never met, your imagination begins to design an interpretation your mind has perceived that person should look like based on your mood and preconceived notions...
Want need and desire come into play when trying to analyze the voice and tone of a person which often confuses the outcome you have perceived that person to be if one ever meets the face of a voice...
What if you could take this curiosity most people endure to a game show...
Contestants would hear a voice and would try to guess what that person would look like based only on a conversation that people have every day...
It would be a point based system based on the ethnicity, the size and the color of the hair of a person...
The dynamics of the show are based around political correctness and the evolutionary state we are in right now on describing how a person looks...
Previously people would just call a person fat, to more recently, plus size, but even that term has become fauxpas for today's standards and has been replaced with curves or fiercely real...
The compound adjective of the hyphenated ethnicity has also created a dynamic to the game which could be a daily double type scenario, like African-American or Asian Americans to European Americans or quite the opposite, White American, or even Black American...
Just because you can trace your heritage back to a certain region doesn't necessarily mean you associate with that genealogy anymore, based upon the length of time your family has been removed from that element which in turn has created a new generation...American...
Just choosing to use what has become standard is not standard any more in today's standard which changes daily based on the fact that America is more diverse than it ever has been before...
America is more evolved than any other nation on the planet due to the fact that we allow multi-generational people's which has given America a step up in the evolutionary gene pool...
Our Cultural diversities has given rise to a more modern way of thinking and reacting which has left the rest in the dust when it comes to conversing and relating to one another...
This game will show how far ahead we are and how far behind some people are when it comes to describing what you think you see a person as, and how that person identifies themselves...
We also think that it would be better to keep the audience in suspense as well, this way you prevent the rebuttal, oh I knew that, or how stupid are they that they couldn't figure that out...
We also think that you shouldn't be given a choice of three images to decide which person it could be, like one of our cohorts considered...
Although, we think it would be a good idea to include the audience as well as online watchers to be able to text in their answers, this way the contestants could choose their answer or go on their own...
This gives it away to much in our opinion, and if you think about it, the only image you have are the images you've gathered on your own, and leaves little for advanced interpretation...
Remember, we are trying to think outside the box, removing stereotype and in the process meeting a new person and creating a new relationship with someone you might have thought you would have never been able to connect with before...
Opening the door even wider to help create a forgiveness and acceptance for the past transgressions we have thrown on one another and acceptance for the things we have no power of being able to change...
The game also opens the door to a possible romance that can be created and those contestants could be brought back on the game to see if their stereotypes have changed based on their new interpretations...
This game also creates the ability to open a dialogue by opening up the discussion with contestants from all walks of life that only America has the ability to do...and that's a fact!
