How do I back up my new iPad from my existing iPad? My intent is to have all of my apps and data moved from my existing or old iPad to my new iPad.

How do I back up my new iPad from my existing iPad? My intent is to have all of my apps and data moved from my existing or old iPad to my new iPad. Can this be done? If so, how do I proceed? Thank you.

These support pages should get you started with setup of a new iPad - and the methods of transferring your data from old to new device:

Set up your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support

Transfer data from your previous iOS device to your new iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Use Quick Start to transfer data to a new iPhone, iPad or iPod touch – Apple Support


“Transfer” is rather a misnomer. In reality, your data and setup is merely cloned to the new device. Nothing is moved or removed from the original device.


An alternative is to restore either an iCloud or iTunes backup to the new device:

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup - Apple Support
