Now where this is a problem is if you had tons of music on your computer, it gets stolen or breaks without you having a backup, and then you cannot connect your iPhone to a new computer without losing your music.

(I ran into the problem when my wife wanted a ringtone on her iPhone, that was only ever backed up on iCloud, and you need to connect an iPhone to your computer to install a ringtone that you created yourself on your computer. If you had music or videos from another computer on your phone that would be gone, but you don't have that, so you are fine. So basically you cannot have music from two different computers on your iPhone at the same time, but you can backup your phone on a fresh computer or on multiple computers. Go through the setup pages until you get to the Apps & Data screen.

The music and videos that were stored in my iTunes app are gone, but everything else stays intact and you can back it all up. After you’ve made sure you have a recent backup, here’s how to reset your iPhone and restore it from an iCloud backup: Go to Settings > General > Reset. So if I took my phone, with my music, that was always connected to iTunes on my computer, and connected it to iTunes on your computer, then "Set up as new iPhone" really means "Set up as a new iPhone connected to this iTunes app". With iOS 11.4, you can now sync messages across iPhone, iPad, Mac over iCloud. Or if you lose some messages on iPhone one day, you can get back messages by restoring iCloud backup. You can link your phone with one computer running the iTunes app to synchronize music, videos, audiobooks all the things that are controlled by iTunes. By backing up iMessages, text messages to iCloud, you can easily transfer messages from iPhone to a new iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch. Fortunately, iTunes doesn't do something that would be outrageously stupid. I was in the situation, and what iTunes displays is a bit frightening and misleading.
