iCloud

iCloud is a cloud storage (also online storage) that works on cloud computing technology. It superseded Apple’s MobileMe services and came into existence on June 30th 2012. It allows you to upload your data over internet secured with password protected access and this uploaded data can act as a supplement to your manual backup.
