Hi, The way I think it works is that if you set iTunes to download all your apps, they will be copied from iTunes when you restore from a backup. If you don't, they are downloaded from Apple's servers. You set this up by going into Preferences with Control-Comma in Windows or Command-Comma on a Mac, choosing Store, and checking the box to download apps.
