How big is your iCloud backup?

[iphonenub]

I feel like my backup is small compared to people that can't backup without buying more storage. So what is your backup size? Mine is 53.8MB

2.2GB. Most of that (1.7GB) is Camera Roll.

2.1GB. Most of it are from the three movies I have stored in VLC which shouldn't be backed up really.

You can disable specific apps from being backed up on iCloud in Settings.

Can you set it to back up only when connected to wifi?

Backing up video files of 2.1GB on 3G can use up a month worth of data...

About 600MB but I regularly transfer my photos and videos to Aperture & iMovie. I think the only risk of going over the free storage would be a huge camera roll.

To back up automatically it has to have power and wifi. Manually it doesn't matter.

I understand why I'm only at 50MB...empty camera roll

5.6 GB almost all in the camera roll. I have all my videos backed up on drop box but still can't bring myself to delete most of them. Most are my kids so I like looking at them from time to time.

If you import them into iPhoto and then sync them back via iTunes, you can still have the photos on your phone but outside of the Camera Roll and thus outside of the backup. You won't need them in your backup then because they'll all be in your iPhoto library.

I'm just over 1GB at the moment. But my wife's is over 20GB.
