    Hi folks,

    So I currenty have a MBP, Ipad Pro and an Iphone.

    I usually use the MBP to backup and update the Iphone.

    I am thinking of selling the MBP as I am getting more use of the Ipad Pro.

    In terms of backing up the Iphone and Ipad what is my best option?

    I am thinking I would need about 1tb in terms of current files (movies/pics/itunes/docs etc) and what I may need in the future...

    Should I keep the physical cloud so to speak of the MBP or should I invest in proper cloud storage like Dropbox or I cloud.

    What is the best "cloud" to use?

    thanks

    frAg

    If you want the backup to be fully comprehensive and automated iCloud is your only option.

    DO NOT rely on iCloud as a backup - it's for syncing data across devices, not for backing it up!!!
