Are there non-icloud backup options? There used to be local encrypted backups through itunes, but I can't tell if that feature is still around.

Still exists but now backup is integrated into Finder. You can also do encrypted backup on Windows but I forgot what the app is called (from Apple).

ITunes but it is a PITA. Do a test backup restore too. It may not restore if the phone was nearly full (maybe 80%) when backed up.
