If I back up my iphone to icloud on my computer, should I also back it up to itunes just in case or..??

I'm going to go get my iphone fixed at the Apple store this weekend,, and just in case I have to trade it for a new phone, I backed up my iphone onto icloud on my computer. So I was wondering that if I do have to trade for a new phone, am I all set with the backup? Or should I also backup my phone to itunes on my computer???

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1.4

Another backup wouldn't hurt. The more the merrier, but just make sure you also copy all photos and videos from your camera roll to your PC too. "Just in case"

No technical reason why but personally I would also back up to iTunes as well

(and other way round as well if it were relevant )...PC or Macs can always have a disk failure and "Clouds " can also have problems albeit usually temporary

You can never have too many backups 😉
