Side note: I changed laptops a couple of years ago and I had no idea how to get all the stuff that I safely and prudently stored from the portable back up thingy onto the new laptop so I just gave up. How do those damn things work??
Ummm... well, the "alternative" would be to not use iCloud. That is what I do. I back up iPhone/iPads directly to my local computer on my home network monthly. Have done that ever since I got the very first iPhone 3G.
