Unless you tell it not to Time Machine will back up everything. You can tell it to exclude certain things if you like. I don't include System files for example because the backup is not bootable. Here's an intro that I wrote a while ago. It covers an older version but the basics are the same. ATPM 15.03 - How To: Time Travel: Introduction to Time Machine

Just in case there's any confusion Time Machine i(the program) is free and included with the OS. Time Capsule (the device) is not free.
