Do I need to set up additional backups on my iphone 11 if I'm backed up by the cloud?

Hi Molly,

I am assuming that you are asking whether you to setup additional backups if you are already using iCloud for backups. In my opinion, if you can, then it is always a good idea to have a backup on your computer as well. iCloud backs up your iPhone every 24 hours or so and that is great. As a secondary measure, a computer backup perhaps every 2 weeks is a good idea in case you need to recover from an older than 24 hour backup.

Hope this helps.
