[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1646455, member: 46727"] Generally, you would backup your iOS devices to iCloud and/or to your Mac via iTunes. In other words both. I do that for both of my iPhones and iPad. Backing up your Mac to iCloud is possible but considering you only receive 5 GB for free from Apple, you would have to purchase the additional space. And also take into consideration the amount of time it would take to backup large amounts of data, it's just not practical in my opinion. The best way to backup your OS X data would be to use Time Machine to an external hard drive or a cloning program such as Carbon Copy Cloner again to an external hard drive. [/QUOTE]
