In compensation for my Linux audio rant, I'll describe an issue I'm experiencing with the restricted iOS. To free space I removed data that already is backed up and apps I don't need with data that doesn't require a backup. However, there was one exception, I once made a session with an amp simulation app. It wasn't important that time, but yesterday I discovered that I like the sound as well as the music I made for testing purpose. However, I decided to remove several amp simulation apps and by accident I deleted this particular app and so the recording, too. I seemingly never made a backup via the file sharing option. At the moment I scanne the iOS device with free as in beer file recovery software, before that I already scanned with a 30 days free trial software, for no avail. Later I perhaps will restore iTunes in a Windows VM from a VM snapshot and then scann the iTunes backup, too. When using Linux data recovery seems to be easier to do and it's for free as in beer, let alone that I regularly back up _all installs_ and _all data_, since it's not nearly as complicated as saving data by iTunes file sharing to a drive and then making a backup to an external drive. I doubt that the VM snapshot to an older iTunes backup (sync), that has nothing to do with the file sharing option, provides data from a deleted and now reinstalled app, since this data much likely requires usage of the file sharing option to backup the data. In my experiences pro-audio for Apple has got a lot of advantages over Linux pro-audio ... as long as nothing goes wrong. There seldom happen issues, but once a problem arises, it at least for me is much more of an issue, than a similar issue happening for a Linux install.
