Maybe if you’re working with nuclear secrets or huge financial transactions but if you’re a regular shmuck like me then probably not worth the effort. You could take a removable disk and back up and then just slap it in a safe deposit box if you were really concerned and that’s only $100 or so.

I think I may want to add another layer here. Store a backup device off the premises, such as a bank vault. Its an interesting concept but given how much we have invested into our devices which holds our lives, that extra layer may be a good idea. From E.T.'s Keyboard... Are We Alone

If you don't have the password just hit the forgot password button. Use a PC if you don’t have a mac or any other device. If you’ve lost all the above options though you have bigger problems than trying to get in to your iCloud account. > On Sep 18, 2016, at 9:37 PM, E.T. wrote: > > Here

Here is a thought. Worst case scenario. Both Mac and iDevices unavailable for any number of reasons. Add to the mix the same thing for local backup devices. So even if one uses the cloud, how will you access it? Assuming again, worst case scenario, you do not know the password. Is there

Re: slightly annoied and need suggestons for possible solution

I'd also suggest iTunes, and encrypting your backup. This brings over health data, wifi passwords, Twitter/Facebook logins, and most logins on third-party apps. None of this is backed up in iCloud, and restoring locally is much faster. Not having looked into it I don't know, but I doubt whether

Why don't you want to back up with ICloud, or with ITunes? Just am curious? --- Christopher Gilland JAWS Certified, 2016. Training Instructor. i...@gillandmarketing.com Phone: (704) 256-8010. - Original Message - From: "Ray Foret jr" To: "Mac Visionaries List" Sent: Sunday, September
