[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1789207, member: 83420"] There is no Time Machine equivalent for iOS Devices. But you have (keep) things on your iDevice and have a backup (BU) of all of them on iCloud via iCloud BU. As ferrarr said, you can BU as many versions of a document as you like by naming them V1, V2 etc. You can recover documents from your iCloud BU. You can access iCloud Drive and its documents from any device by using the same Apple ID and thereby change/edit them. But, to repeat, this not TM. For a start, the BU process does not occur hourly, weekly etc. It is initiated by you - requirements are that it is attached to a power source and has a good WiFi connection. A lot of people achieve this by leaving the device powered-on over night - which charges the battery; and close to a good WiFi signal - which activates the BU process. Lastly, no, you can't manually copy documents to an External Hard Drive (EHD) directly from iCloud (we are, remember, talking about your being "Mac-less"). Ian [/QUOTE]
