iCloud Do I need Cloud backup if using iCloud (only for Photo library)

[MrMister111]

I have a iMac, iPhone, iPad and buy 2Tb iCloud as my Photo library is around 1Tb, and so need this space with iPhone backups for family, iPad etc.

I also currently have another cloud backup service on my Mac that basically backups up my Mac.

I only really use it for safety for my Photo library backup.

On my iMac I have iCloud library enabled so it copies a full resolution onto my iMac (via external SSD), and stores in iCloud as well.

So I’m wondering if I need the extra online cloud backup if all I’m doing is backing up my Photo library?

It is always wise to implement multiple backup strategies.

I agree, I have it on iMac SSD, Time Machine external drive, and iCloud.

So thinking I don’t need the extra cloud backup
