Another question springs from that one:  Which apps should we check to enable 
iCloud backup?

If in doubt I check mine, but am not always sure which to go for.

I guess the GPS apps that save POIs may be included ... or maybe not ...

Anyway, if anyone uses ones that definitely backup to iCloud, I'd like to know.

  They should be safe in your iCloud backup, so long as VDR is set to back up, 
of course.

    Will my books on Voice Dream Reader come back when restoring from iCloud

      An iCloud backup will give you everything--apps and all their data, home 
screen layout, settings, all that. The only things it lacks are secure items. 
That is, it won't give you your wifi passwords, logins for apps, and so on. It 
will be unaffected by iCloud Keychain for Safari; what I mean is that your 
Facebook app, for instance, won't come up with you logged in. It will instead 
have you log in when you first open it, because iCloud backups don't contain 
login details like that. I hope this makes sense.

        Follow-up question:
        If one just backs up to the cloud regularly, not backing up using 
iTunes, and needs to restore the phone at some future time, will they have to 
manually download each app again from the App Store, then restore from the last 
iCloud back up? Or, is iCloud smart enough to also get the App store to 
redownload all apps?

For a true backup use iTunes and backup the phone that way. That will backup 
all your apps and data.

          Hi,
          Does the iCloud backup backup the entire phone including all of its 
apps and data or does it just back up the OS and basic data like contacts… tthe 
checked items in iCloud in settings?
          Thx –Steve
