  A long discussion here on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16403351 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16403351 But to answer your question, I would say no. Very little critical data is stored on most people’s phone that is not automatically backed up to iCloud.

    The argument would be that it is not very useful to have backups if you don’t know if the data your backing up has been corrupted or not.

    I don't think iCloud uses ZFS, so that's game over anyway :P
