Just set it... and forget it.
Most people don't think about backups, until their computers eventually break down, then it's too late. That's why I love Apple's Time Capsule. It's the easiest backup system I've ever used. Once you set it up, it automatically creates hourly backups of every Mac in your house, so you'll never forget to make a backup. Since it's wireless, you can put it anywhere in your house and you won't even know it's there.
That's how all backups should be, automatic. If you need to be reminded to plug something in, chances are, you'll forget.
The only problem is that your Time Capsule, is in your house, so if your computer is damaged due to some kind of disaster, your backup is worthless. When Superstorm Sandy hit New York, several of my clients not only lost their computers, but their backup drives. Thankfully, they had a cloud backup too.
Wouldn't it be great to have the speed, flexibility and simplicity of Time Capsule along with the security of an off-site cloud backup?
By linking Apple's Time Capsule to an iCloud account, every computer in your house would still make high speed hourly local backups using Time Machine, then the Time Capsule could send the backups to the cloud, even after you turned off your computer.
By having the Time Capsule send the backups directly to iCloud, your local computer won't be bogged down sending the backup to the cloud. The Time Capsule could send updates 24/7 without tying up your local computer. As a bonus you could access every file on your computer from any computer in the world by logging in to iCloud.
