For my purposes, I get by without a phone backup. I store most data on my NAS or in iCloud (supposed to be E2E encrypted), so when I do get a new iPhone or iPad ever few years, the only data I've lost is my system config. It's a little bit of a pain to reconfigure, sure, but local backups to iTunes are much more of a pain (and always seem to break for me).
I would love to use iCloud Backup, but my understanding is that as soon as you do, everything that was E2E encrypted (because you're using iCloud services) immediately becomes visible to Apple.

- iamdamian 7y agoThanks! This is helpful. Is iMazing smart enough to not back up data that’s already in iCloud? For example, I don’t want to have two copies of my entire Photo Library (my laptop originals and my iPhone backup) on my laptop.
