How Many Backups Does iCloud/iTunes Keep
Well, to keep it straight and simple, an Apple iCloud user can only make one backup for every single iOS device he/she owns. Every time when the backup is performed, the older back up of the respective device gets merged with the new one. However, reportedly some users have seen at most 3 iCloud backups (of same device) over their account.
When it comes to backing up your iOS device with iTunes, it's a bit different. Though every time you perform a backup of your iOS device, the respective backup of it gets overwritten, just like iCloud. However, you have the privilege to save the older backup while making a new backup. For this you need to first 'Archive' your older backup and then perform new backup of the respective iOS device.
With this classified information, we now hope that you're clear with how many backups iCloud or iTunes keeps. So, let's now understand how to check the backups iTunes and iCloud keep.
iTunes Backup:
Launch iTunes application over your PC. Make sure it is of the most recent version.
In case you use Mac computer, hit on the 'iTunes' menu tab at the top left corner and then tap on 'Preferences'. Or, if you use Windows computer, hit on the 'Edit' menu tab and then select the 'Preferences' option from the appearing drop down menu.
