I'll be getting a new iPad Pro. Can I safely restore an iTunes backup
from my previous iPad Pro?
I'm wondering about 2 factor authentication, my banks' authentications
for their apps, the name it receives, and other similar stuff.
I want it to be a perfect clone.
Will all those permissions be available?

Of course.

Yes, everything will be available - to extent those apps allow and
support it. There's no guarantee your banking app won't demand you re-authenticate on a new device, for instance.

It kind of sounds like you have never transferred data to a new Apple
device before? If you like, Apple will happily step you through doing it
right there at the Apple store.

Ed,

At least, you need to do the iTunes backup with encryption
(or whatever it's called)

I think you are out of luck if you want a perfect clone.
At least the banking apps will require new authentication if you run them
on new hardware. (AFAIK, someone please correct me, if Im wrong.)

It definitely won't be a perfect clone since iTunes doesn't actually
backup *everything*.

Presumably the "new iPad Pro" is actually a newer model than the old
one, in which case some apps may need re-installing to get newer
versions of them that will work with the newer version of iPadOS.

Most of the rest of your personal stuff will get transferred okay.

It will depends on the bank and how their app / website security works.

"Two-factor authentication" usually just means sending an email to an
already known address or a text message / robo-phonecall to a phone to
check it is you logging in and performing the actions. It isn't usually bothered about the individual devices or IP addresses as such,
otherwise it would be impossible to do anything when on holiday, etc.

Yes, everything will be available - to extent those apps allow and

device before? If you like, Apple will happily step you through doing it right there at the Apple store.

I've had several iPads over the last fifteen or so years. But I've
always set them up as new entries, and then manually installed all apps
and data.

I've always thought that cloning would produce lots of duplicity
problems. For example, when someone Facetimes you, would both pads ring?

You don't sign into the same Apple account on your devices?

The best way to avoid problems is to perform the transfer when asked
during the set-up process. Trying to do it later after the iPad has
been set-up can cause issues.
