    Does iCloud mitigate this? It’s always confused me that iCloud is intended only as a data sync and not back-up… If one device goes down and the rest still work, could you still acc…

    OP, my 2-cents having done this in a different industry within a company ~1/10th of yours: - as other comments mentioned, going slow and sticking to a solid vision of what “success…
