Does that mean you could create 30 days worth of rolling, expiring backups? Even having 4 weekly backups on hand at any moment of disaster recovery would be useful.
Yeah. It's also explicitely not made to be a Google Drive, it's for the exact purpose of storing all your data and restoring it in short time. Each backup has an expiry time of 30 days, so you could just run it every week and be very fine.
I still think it's a pretty good thing to have, 30 days for things like migrating or having your phone being repaired sounds pretty good. It's a neat service, not sure why the upset comments.
That's probably the most limited unlimited I've seen.
Just send us a fresh image of your phone. You can trust us.
People need to stop being cheap and always pay for enough storage to have their phones and photos backed up at all time. They complain about paying for anything until they loose their data and then pretend they never knew.
That's not the issue with this promotion, my dude.
it's not really a 'promotion'. it's a new feature. allowing you unlimited online storage space meant for backing-up (a qualified device) before repairs or when migrating its data to a new device. a new feature that mimics something apple already offers.
if it were a 'promotion', there'd be a way to buy or sub to that 'unlimited' space after a period of time to keep it going indefinitely.

Just like an SD-Card, except now with much slower transfer speeds, requiring an account and online connection.
Yes. Agreed but this causes confusion. You need online storage.
Dear companies, the 'un' in 'unlimited' is not silent...
I will give you a million dollars, but you gotta give it back after 30 days
With 0% interest? That's actually a really good deal
