Backup all my data ?

Hi.

An important question please :

Iv'e stopped using my CrashPlan Cloud Backup .

Now I want to use Apple's iCloud Backup with ALL my devices ( All under the same Apple ID ) :

iMac , iPad and iPhone (Backup my files especially my iMac's Home user documents) .

Any help how to do it will be appreciated...

iCloud is a syncing service, not a backup service for computers. You need to use Time Machine or a clone to properly backup your computer. You can sync your Documents folder and Desktop to iCloud, but it isn't a true backup.


To sync your Documents folder and Desktop to iCloud Drive, go to System Preferences/iCloud/iCloud Drive/Options and check syncing.

To sync IOS devices, go to Settings/Your Name/iCloud, sign in, and turn syncing on for the desired data.
