Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't use iCloud to back up computers, you should use an external drive.

  • HT4859 does iCloud backup also backup my iTunes music?

    does iCloud backup also backup my iTunes from my iPhone?

    Music purchased from the iTunes store can be transferred to you iTunes library by connecting your phone to your computer, opening iTunes, authorizing your computer for any Apple IDs used to purchase the music (in Store>Authorize This Computer), then going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Music from other sources (such as your CDs) should already be in your iTunes library.
    Once your music is all in your iTunes library, you simply sync it to your new phone.  To transfer your other data and settings to your new phone, see http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.

  • HT4859 Does iCloud backup messages

    Does iCloud back messages automatically inside the 5 gb

    If you are backing up your phone to iCloud the backup will include your messages along with other data and settings.  You won't be able to see or access these messages separately; they can only be restored to your phone along with the other data and settings stored in the backup.  Also, the backup does count against your free 5 GB of iCloud space.

  • Does icloud backup iwork documents

    does icloud backup iworks documents

    Hello, thanks for using Apple Support Communities,
    Yes, iCloud does store iWork Documents in the cloud to be pushed to all of your devices; this is an optional feature. Back to My Mac also allows for you to take a backup of your app, and all documents associated with them, in case your iPad is lost, stolen, or broken.
    As for storing all of your documents and always pushing them to your devices, you may choose which apps apply as well.

  • TS4036 where does icloud store my mac osx recovery key?

    where does icloud store my mac osx recovery key for file vault?

    Note that you have to have specifically chosen to store the key with Apple at the time you created the FileVault encryption, and chosen security questions so that you can identify yourself when you come to retrieve it. If you did not store it with Apple in this way and do not have a record of it elsewhere then you cannot proceed. All this has nothing to do with iCloud and the process is not automatic.

    Unfortunately, the only way to remove a restrictions passcode is to restore your phone as new, without using a backup (because the backup simply restores the restriction passcode back to your phone).  You could, of course, restore the backup again and save as much of your data as you can before restoring it as new again.  For example, you could use an app like My Contacts Backup to back up your contacts as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to your self.  You can later open this email on your phone after restoring it as new and tap the attachment to import your contacts back to your phone.  You can also import your photos and videos to your computer as explained here: iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer, then sync them back to your phone later or transfer them back over your wifi using an app like PhotoSync.

  • Does iCloud Backup Calendar & Contacts?

    Suppose you don't have a Mac or a PC, and the only device you have is an iPad. And suppose you're using iCloud for Mail, but not for Contacts and Calendar. If you set your iPad to Backup to iCloud (instead of to iTunes on a computer), does it backup all of your Contacts and Calendar data, or is that not included?

    Looking at that "iCloud: Backup and restore overview" document it seems to me that the Contacts and Calendar data aren't backed up. It says:
    "Device settings (for example: Phone Favorites, Wallpaper, and Mail, Contacts, Calendar accounts)".
    But that's just the settings, not the actual data. If you've filled the Contacts app on your iPad with 1000 entries and your only backup is via iCloud Backup in iOS, I personally don't think iCloud is storing a backup of those 1000 contacts, it's just storing your settings/preferences.

  • Does icloud backup app folders?

    So i have a lot of apps for many reasons. But i was wondering, since i have at least 15 folders filled with apps, does icloud back all this data up? so when i restore my apps and icloud backup, everything was as before? or do i have to re-arrange all apps yet once again to get them how they previuosly were...

    The apps listed under Documents & Data are apps that are storing their data in your iCloud account (called "Documents in the Cloud").  These apps are syncing their data with iCloud so that you can share the data across multiple devices sharing the same iCloud account, such as saving a Pages document on your iPhone, then editing the same document on your iPad.  This is separate from your backup.  You won't see any evidence that the app data is being backed up, either on your phone or on icloud.com, beyond the fact that you can see that your turned the app to On under Backup Options.  If it's turned on there, the app data will be included in your next iCloud backup, and will be restored to your phone should you ever need to restore your iCloud backup.

  • HT4847 what does icloud backup do?

    What exactly does icloud do and why do I need it?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can use iCloud backup, to back up your mobile device. You can use the backup file to restore your device should you encounter problems with it. In many ways it does exactly the same as backing up to iTunes, but doesn't require you to own a computer.
    Being able to back up to the cloud can be very useful, especially if you don't have access to a computer or have infrequent access to one, however unless you specifically need to use iCloud for back up, you will find backing up to iTunes significantly more convenient and possibly more reliable.

  • What EXACTLY does iCloud backup/sync to their server.!?!.

    HI all..
    hoping someone could help me out.
    i have read many an article regarding what iCloud backs up/syncs to their server.
    i Know it syncs Safari bookmarks/open tabs/reading lists to their server..
    and ios8 is introducing Safari history sync too..
    however does iCloud also sync your cookies & cache to their server as well??
    cheers

    Hello Leeeeeeeeee1892,
    there is no official post mentioning that, but I would be surprised if Apple would sync cookies between devices.
    Best regards,
    David
