In the past I have saved games to the hard disk, but now that the Xbox has the option to save game data to a cloud based service I am considering using this instead, as I would like to ensure that in the event anything happens to my Xbox that I will still have the save games for the games that I play.

I have searched online for information on how to set this up but haven't found any information so I was hoping that somebody here would know;

Is it possible and if so how? How would I export save data from the hard disk to the cloud, so I can start using the cloud as my primary save point?
