Backing up photos with iCloud.
I am currently overseas uploading all my photos to my iPad 2 using the camera connection kit. I am wanting to back up all of these photos (about 14gb worth) in case I lose my iPad or if something happens to it. I do not have a computer with me. I am looking in to buying more storage for my iCloud but I am very confused about how it works and if it will actually store all of my photos. I don't care about syncing them to my other devices, I just want to make sure that if something does happen to my iPad ALL my 'all imported' photos will be backed up in iCloud for me to retrieve them on my macbook when I get home.
Can someone please clear this up for me? I have read so many different things and nothing is clear.
