    Of course, but that’s an alternative you still have. As long as you have a computer, you can backup your phone to it just fine. The $100 for the drive also doesn’t factor in redundancy, bandwidth cost, power cost and maintenance.

      You’re right about the last part, I didn’t think about that. But wasn’t the whole point of this that you can only backup your system and app data to iCloud? Can you back that up using a computer as well?

        Yes, you can. If you choose to protect the backup with a password, it’s actually a more complete backup as it also backs up things like sessions, so you don’t have to login again to most apps after restoring.

          So it backs up system settings, app data and stuff as well, right? But do you just need a PC for that or does it have to be a Mac?

              Interesting. Still sucks that they don’t give you the option to choose a cloud provider for this but I didn’t expect them to just let you use your PC.
