Is it possible to back up Logic Pro x onto iCloud? I have 2 terabytes of storage on iCloud which I’ve hardly used any of with my iPhone.
On my iPhone I have to choose which apps I want to be backed up so assume logic wouldn’t just automatically be backed up from my Mac.
Thanks

The file structure is too complex to back up as is, zip the Logic application before uploading. Then I think I'd try to download and unzip to make sure. Generally speaking, don't use Cloud-like storage for anything Logic, both files and application should be zipped.

That's interesting. Must have missed those posts. Do you know if that was more anecdotal or a serious issue? Corrupt while storing it or corrupted while working on a live Project stored in the Cloud?
My recommendation was about storing Logic Projects on iCloud. Being a Package File, this is not possible on other cloud services. We use Box (hate it) at our University, and my students can't just drag Logic Projects over. Really annoying. Google Drive has also that limitation.
Opening a Logic Project that is stored on iCloud and work on that Project, that I would not recommend. There is too much stuff going on in the background. The files are stored on iCloud but mirrored locally and synced, but then things change if you have that "Optimize Mac Storage" checkbox enabled in the System Preferences.
I only do that (working from iCloud) with Pages files when the file size is low. That is a read-write scenario that works nicely and Pages files are Packages Files too (you can set it either way). Where it gets tricky is when the file size is too big (above the 100MB range). That's where it gets unreliable, and Logic Project can easily grow bigger than that.
Although Logic Project Files are Packaged Files, iCloud has no problem stored them , unlike other Cloud service.
However, zipping file is generally a good idea for file integrity as Pancenter suggested
