Haven't used the family plan but 2.50 a month for safe backups of contacts, photos, messages, etc is a no brainer for me

Is it backup? Or is it just replication for convenience of access across your devices?
I'm not sure it is backup. Same for Google Drive, Microsoft OneDrive, etc.
Backup is immune from replication... i.e. accidental deletes replicate, infected files replicate... yes it may have version control or a recycle bin, but if you didn't notice the problem quickly you do lose the original files.
I think these cloud storage solutions are fantastic for convenience, and offer some safety over fat fingered deletes... but please don't consider them backup. Always have an external drive for that, which is disconnected most of the time.

I’ve just received an email that my iCloud storage is almost full. 978MB of my 50GB strange plan. Apple are asking for £2.49 to upgrade to a 200GB storage plan. I had been thinking of a family plan as my daughter frequently runs out of storage.
Has anyone any experience of the family plan?
Should I upgrade?
