iPhone backup question. Wife has an iPhone 6. I auto backup to icloud, but its full. I want to back up her photos to our PC automatically over WiFi without using iTunes. Is there any way to go this? Or is there a better way to backup photos?

Google+ is worthless as a social network, but it's pretty good for automatically backing up your photos to the cloud. It doesn't actually post the photos, just stores them. Instructions here . (Click on the + sign for iOS App for your instructions.)

you can either back up via icloud (which I personally think sucks, and doesn't work reliably) or you can back up to a computer,

I think the most reliable way to back up an iPhone is to back it up to a computer via USB.

I've used DropBox and Flickr with pretty good success.

Personally, I use CameraSync which is connected to my Box account, so I can upload photos there. My phone's only a 16GB though, so I don't use up that much space.

On a Mac if you plug your phone into the computer you can back up the photos through iPhoto without using iTunes, it just sees it as a camera. Maybe your PC will do the same? You can also buy more space in iCloud.
