Thanx for your quick reply but after reading your links I am still worried about all my apps and the data attached to them like in app scores and levels reached.
Also things like bookmarks, emails and pictures etc.
No backup, including the one on your present computer, will guarantee the retrieval of all internal app data/app scores because the app developer may have chosen to manage such data through other methods.
Here, you can follow this article to transfer purchases existing on your device.
In my experience, iCloud backups are now the safety bet when considering internal settings of apps, etc. Way of the future, more or less.
Those 2 articles will get you as much of your data from your phone as you can retrieve beyond this final one.
Import photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Bookmarks sync with iCloud. Email is managed by your email services, not your iPhone.
NOTE: any content that came from your own library and not from iTunes, cannot be restored through iCloud unless managed by iTunes Match or Apple Music.
Make certain to keep backups of your Music Library for this reason.
