Alex,
If you backup to iTunes (encrypted or not) you also have to sync your device to iTunes otherwise iTunes won't know what configuration to back up. If you restore from a backup done with iTunes, it will use apps previously synced to iTunes for restoring your apps. This is much faster than an iCloud backup which will simply redownload your apps.

I went to do this encrypted backup today and got two warnings, the first about some apps not being in my library and the second about some purchases not being transferred. In both cases I pressed enter, but I still don't know what happened and why those alerts appeared. Why would iTunes care if I don't put iOS apps on a Mac that can't do anything with them? Why does it want to store copies of purchases, if I don't want those purchases on my computer? Most importantly, though: can I trust that my backup actually contains all my data? Right now I have no idea, because I don't know if those warnings meant that some of my apps or data did not get backed up.

You can verify this by going into the options for your iPhone when it's connected to iTunes, and verifying that the encrypt backup checkbox is checked.

An encrypted backup is the only way to keep the keychain. Not encrypting your backup will lose certain data, such as passwords. If the app is backing up those settings separately to the iCloud keychain, then they'll be preserved that way, but there's no guarantee all apps one has will be doing this.

I would like to add, however, that it is not necessary to encrypt backups in order to have all of the devices passwords and various security settings restored to the device. I have restored my various iPhones, from a refreshed state, from my backups via iTunes and all of the device settings were successfully configured without having ever encrypted my backups. Now it is possible, in the latest version of iTunes that it may now be required but I haven't heard anything confirming this.

You can turn Backup on and this automatically backs up your phone's settings once a day as long as your phone is connected to power and I believe it has to be on WiFi for the automatic backup. You can also initiate a backup by tapping on the "Backup Now" button. I do have iCloud backup turned on, but I also back up my iPhone using iTunes. So, yes, you do need iTunes if you want o manually backup to your computer rather than to the cloud via the internet. If you do backup with iTunes I suggest you turn on encrypted backup since it does a more complete backup which includes all your passwords and so on. To do an encrypted backup for the first time in iTunes, do this: 1. Connect your phone to your computer and open iTunes (I am assuming you have iTunes installed on your computer). 2. Go to your device in iTunes and then tab a lot until you find the checkbox to turn on encrypted backup. Check it with the spacebar. 3. You will be asked to enter a password to protect your backup, enter it and then tab to enter it again for verification then tab to OK and activate it with the spacebar or enter key. 4. Your backup will automatically start. 5. To back up your phone again later, just go to "File", "Devices" and select backup from the options. Keep in mind that a backup will not back up any music or other media you synced to your phone via iTunes. It will backup the settings and that includes what was synced, but if for example you deleted all your music that you had previously synced and did a restore from a backup, that music would not be restored if it is no longer in your iTunes library.
