@dooBdoo  @glb613 You are right about backing up first on iTunes. I back my Apple devices up every 3-4 weeks and "always" before an update. Most of the people I ask how often they back them up says"they never have"! I value my data and photos on my devices and do a back-up like you do. I also then back up my computer with my Clickfree. I back-up my computer once a month or sooner if it acts up. I wish Apple would get a back-up USB compatible with their lightening plug in. I saw a SanDisc on QVC but the reviews weren't that good or I would have purchased it.


I have 3 portable hard drives and rotate them for my backups.  I also burn photos to DVDs.  To be really safe, I should store them in my safe deposit box in case of fire or other natural disaster.  Online or cloud backup is another option I haven't tried. I just don't want another monthly charge.
