I was going to argue this morning about having to pay for multiple storage services and data privacy. Fuck it all, I've paid. That was such a monumental hassle to try to do this the old school way.
Spent all morning downloading patches, updates and fixing errors. When did it all get so complicated.
Ha, yeah I resisted for a while... but once its all up and running iCloud is actually mint, plus I trust Apple with data gubbins more than anyone else.
Yeah as others have said, iCloud does it all now, but... you'll prob need to be paying for it to get enough space for a full back up.
