Should I back my iphone to the cloud?

I am now backing up my IPhone & IPad to my computer. My computer is getting pretty old do I'm just wondering if I should back up to the cloud? What would be the advantages?

I back up to both iCloud and iTunes. My preferred method is iTunes, but that's just my personal preference. Advantages of backing up to iCloud? No wires, no iTunes...:)

Re: Should I back my iphone to the cloud?

Just like Just_Me_D, I use both. I do most of my updating and restoring from iTunes but I also backup to iCloud. It's automatic, meaning it happens by itself whenever I'm on wifi and my phone is charging, and it's a good fail safe in case my MacBook dies on me.
