[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1843205, member: 396914"] An iCloud backup does not back up the applications, as you can reinstall them from the Apple store. And that is how it is done. On restore, your data is reinstalled, then all of your apps download again from the store and are installed. So the amount in your backup is going to be less than is on the iPhone. Plus, there is no backup of iOS, as it has to be on the iPhone for it to work at all. So, the only thing on the iCloud backup is YOUR data. [/QUOTE]
