What we're saying here is exactly that we wanna be able to backup the Activity data WITHOUT the iPhone backup, to use on a iPhone without backup for example.
Got a tip for us?

The entire point is so you can setup as new and clean up your phone without losing health data. I don't want all the junk of "other" on my new phone, or even a restored phone. All I want is health/activity. I don't need anything else.
Restoring as new is Apple's number 1 troubleshooting step when things go wrong. That means I ALWAYS lose health/activity when there is a software issue or corruption issue.
My iPhone runs like crap on iOS 11 beta. I've already tested it without a backup, and it runs fine, but then I will lost my health and activity data.
You could just downgrade back to 10.3.2 for the time being. It seems that this Beta 1 is much more unstable compared to past Beta 1s.
Spoiler: I use the same backup since 2014, when I replaced my iPhone 5 with iPhone 6 Plus. It doesn't matter what iOS I'm running, it will be slow and problematic with my backup. By the way, I'm a developer, and this is my only iPhone right now to test my apps... sad reactions only.
Ouch. I make a new iTunes encrypted backup every 72 hours because I'm so paranoid about my Health and activity data.

Me too, I'm so worried about my health and activity data, trying to get the 365 perfect days badge lol
I have now had my watch for 2 years 2 months (almost; launch day). I have YET to get 365 because of stupid restoring as new. I got to 215 days, restored, 185 days, restored, 210 days, restored (thanks to the 10.1 bug). I am not up to like 245 days. I am only 120 away, I am not losing it! Only sad thing is, it will happen after 11 comes out. So I have to make sure iOS 11 restores health/activity properly JIC I need a clean install for iOS 11/New iPhone. October 10th will be 365.
I may just wait until I hit 365 before I restore JIC, but I'm hoping more people will have testimony here, about how it works.
It is a part of the backup, yes, but not an iCloud document like safari bookmarks, notes, calendars, etc. that would be available if you restored as new and then merely signed onto iCloud.
Thats not true anymore. iOS 11 has a health toggle. According to many people that have tested it here, activity is restored on a new device by flipping the toggle.

Great. Thanks for the link. Was attempting to do a restore from new and wanted texts and health activity to be a part of it once I logged onto iCloud.
