Re: [iPad] iCloud backup question

 

As already cited here, iCloud monthly costs are:
United States (USD)
 20 GB: $ 0.99
200 GB: $ 3.99
500 GB: $ 9.99
  1 TB: $19.99


99¢ per month isn't bad for 20 GB…

Totally, I use 4.1 GB at present, and that backs up 2 iPhones, 2 iPads, and just over 1 GB of other documents.

By way of a periodic reminder of what iCloud backup actually backs up:

Here's what iCloud backs up:

Purchase history for music, movies, TV shows, apps, and books

Your iCloud backup includes information about the content you have purchased, but not the purchased content itself. When you restore from an iCloud backup, your purchased content is automatically downloaded from the iTunes Store, App Store, or iBooks Store. Some types of content aren't downloaded automatically in all countries, and previous purchases may be unavailable if they have been refunded or are no longer available in the store.

Photos and videos on your iOS devices

*IF* you set it to back those up.

Device settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
iMessage, text (SMS), and MMS messages
Ringtones
Visual Voicemail

Your iOS device backup only includes the data and settings that are stored on your device.

It doesn't include data already stored in iCloud, for example contacts, calendars, bookmarks, mail messages, notes, shared photo albums, iCloud Photo Library beta, My Photo Stream, and documents you save in iCloud using iOS apps and Mac apps.
