Alan,

Eventually you can set up iCloud for free using your Plus iPhone.  Then you 
get most all the phone back except for NLS books you might want to read on 
your iPhone.  You get 5 gigs of backup storage and it does the backups 
automatically and encrypts and compress's everything.  I have 4.9 gig left 
and that's after backing my phone to the Apple iCloud.  If you need more 
storage than 5 gigs, you can pay extra for it but the first 5 is free.  The 
compression rate is amazingly small so I probably have 10 gigs backed up and 
still have almost the whole 5 gigs left to use.

Phil.
