About backups in iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
When you plug your device to iTunes, it will tell you the last time it was backup.

Nov 2, 2015 10:39 PM in response to razmee209by bmgsfc,Thanks, but you didn't answer either part of my question.
1. I am asking _where_ in the directory structure in the PC do you see that the backup information is stored. Is it passed by itunes directly into the cloud, rather than being stored locally?
2. This question relates to syncing the apps - Apple assures me they can be copied from ipad to ituns via the sync command. But I see no evidence that this worked at all. This is a separate issue from backup.

A few additional points:

It seems the backup is limited to apps that will also work on the windows 7 PC?
Definitely not, as no iOS app works on a Windows PC. These are completely different operating systems.
While your iPad is plugged into iTunes on your computer, use the iPad's "Summary" display in iTunes to click on the "Apps" tab on the left. There you will see all the apps iTunes is aware of. And yes, this is a separate issue from backup.
