YT. What you need is a backup close to hand, and a backup in a safe secure location. The time machine gives you the first. iCloud doesn't get you the second. I tried it and found it lacking.
I agree, may I ask what you use for the second part?
I've returned the TC and obtained a refund. I'm thinking now just a simple wireless drive in the back of the understairs cupboard behind the wine rack quietly sitting across the BT HH wifi network using Time Machine. That's all I wanted the TC to do, but it wanted to do so much more that I didn't want or need.
Ps. Good advice taking the serial numbers of course, I'll include the curved screen telly too.
