iPad Pro backup on iCloud Drive

Hi all,

I am an iPad mini2 user since past 8-9 months and very happy with it. I was planning to buy a laptop and was not even considering Apple due to its lack of ports, less compatibility outside Apple ecosystem and cost. However the positive impression of iPad mini and the new launch of two iPad Pro variants made me keep Apple as a viable and a preferred option. I started research and decided to go for tablet instead of a full fledged laptop because, I have a capable desktop at home so lighter, carry-everywhere type device and yet powerful enough was my prime preference. New iPad Pro 10.5 started ticking almost all the boxes and at the same time iOS 11 looked ever promising closing in to the desktop OS. Now my question is do I get another iCloud account with the new device? Because considering iPad Pro's mighty storage and number of pro apps, the backup will be ver large with the new device and the space on iCloud may not be sufficient. Is there any other backup option on other drive or a physical drive at regular intervals?

Regards,

Atindra

You'll probably need additional space, if you want to backup both to iCloud, but you could always back them up to a computer if you wanted.

The whole idea of iCloud is to just have one account.

But will the basic account be able to backup my IPP ? Or I have to go for upgrade right away?
