If you disconnect your system from the internet it'll be even more secure.

I'm not worried about people making wired connections to my router.

iCloud is automatic, and real-time.

Still doesn't mean I want it.

Cron jobs are pretty useless for backing up a mobile device to a wired drive. No amount of cron-fu is going to make it connect the cable all by itself.

Of course, if the cable is already connected. . . I'm not usually out at 4:30 AM.

not much use for a usb port nowadays. I use the wireless portion to connect to the printer,

Yeah, because replacing my duplex, wired network, color laser printer is so much cheaper than getting a USB ethernet port. Also, not using wireless means I can shut off the wifi portion of my router, which is the best way to secure it.

icloud keeps the back-ups so no need to connect an external hard drive to manually back-up shit anymore

I can just keep backups on a USB drive, or use a USB optical drive for backups. And I'm pretty sure I could run a cron job if I wanted automated backups. Also, why do I want the cloud?
