[QUOTE="Mini_mi, post: 1371901, member: 195249"] Hi DanielBrasilia, dennyc123, As has been mentioned by others iCloud doesn't back up your whole system. It does copy all your documents, music and photos to the cloud and happens automatically anytime you are connected with any Apple device. For instance if you take a picture with your IPhone, it will be available immediately on any other device which is signed in with your ICloud credentials anywhere in the world. If something were to happen to your computer, you would only have to reinstall the operating system, sign into ICloud and all your docs, photos and music would be available. Apple has included Time Machine for free which would also require an external drive but does run automatically and backs up your user folder. For an image like back-up you will to have have an external drive attached and software like Super Duper installed and running. Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
