It is an option you need to approve on the Mac the iPhone automatically backers itself up so it is a non issue unless your computer or Mac is not backed up too.

Apparently - and I don't have any way of confirming this myself - if you enable automatic backups to iCloud your iPhone refuses to automatically back itself up to your computer anymore. So all your eggs are basically in one iCloud-shaped basket.

Unless you've synced your iPhone to a Mac which gets remote wiped along with the iPhone itself. Then you've got problems.
