For future reference:


A Finder/iTunes backup includes nearly all of your device's data and settings. However, it does not include any of the following items:

  • The apps themselves.
  • Content from the iTunes/Music and App Stores, or PDFs downloaded directly to iBooks/Books
  • Content synced from iTunes/Music, like imported MP3s or CDs, videos, books, and photos
  • Photos already stored in the cloud, like My Photo Stream, and iCloud Photo Library
  • Touch ID settings
  • Apple Pay information and settings
  • Activity, Health, and Keychain data
