It’s always a good idea to have all of your important data backed up and, if you have an iPhone, iCloud automatically backs up your device whenever you’re connected to a Wi-Fi network. When you sign in to iCloud, you get 5GB of storage and if you run out of space, you can always upgrade your storage plan or decrease the size of your e.g. Camera Roll or apps backup.
