It can only be retrieved from the cloud if you have access to the phone. If you can't open your phone, you can't open the cloud.
Also - it depends 100% on access to the internet. In the case of an internet outage, you have no cloud access.
That's why I'm a huge proponent of redundancy. I store everything important to the cloud. I also store it to the hard drive. I also store it to a flash drive. I also store it on my tablet's SD card. My desktop's hard drive is also replicated in full on a separate partition, ghosted.
No matter what happens, I have everything available to me on at least one other device whether or not I have power in the house, internet service, or data access on my phone.
