Hi, the question of backup can be split many different ways. In the end
it's up to the individual to decide what's best for him/her. Jonathan
brings up some good points and I agree with his reasons and I also use
iTunes as my main backup source. Yes, the risk of my hard drive crashing
will make that a waste, but life is all about decision making and risks.
Recently I was helping out a consumer choosing between online backup
solutions with companies like Carbonite and/or Mozy VS home backups like
with Casper and a second internal or external hard drive. In the end she
ended up going with the Casper solution and a second drive because the
quick and ease and easy access of getting a lost file ore recovering
from a crashed hard drive was more important to her than the superior
reliability and the need to trust an online company like Carbonite to
keep your data safe. Not only that, but her computer skills are such
that navigating the Carbonite interface was problematic for her whereas
using the Casper solution was very easy and she could understand it
better. She purchased an external AC powered Western Digital 2 tb hard
drive and we have Casper set up so when she connects it to the pc, it
automatically runs, performs the backup, and safely removes the drive
from the operating system. Then when it's done, she puts it away in a
fireproof safe which she has. She's a lawyer and keeping control of her
documents is key to her. So, while online backup methods have their
merits, so do home solutions.

Hi Johnithon and all,
Okay, if I decided to back up everything on my phone through my
computer and iTunes, and what happens if my computer crashes and burns
then backing everything on my phone to my computer and iTunes was a waste?
I don't have an exturnal hard drive to make sure all my backing up my
Iphone is on the hard drive and on the computer. So then what?
I thought iCloud backed up and stores everything in ones IPhone.
. Thanks.

I don't want to lose any of my stuff I have on my iphone.
