Does the MAC timemachine backup include ipad and iphone backups that are on the MAC?

When I back up may Mac MINI using Timemachine to an external drive, do the iPad and iPhone backups that are on the Mac MINI included...I assume so if it's "all data".

Mac mini, macOS 13.0

Mobile Sync Backup Folder: Can I move individual Older iOS backups to an external drive Looking to free up MacBook pro hard drive space and the biggest space hogs are iOS backups in the the Mobile Sync Backup Folder. My goal would be to move individual backup files of several devices (2 older iPhones and 1 iPad) to an external drive then deleting those files from the Mobile Sync Backup Folder thusly freeing up space. My hope would be if I ran into difficulties with one of the backed up devices needing to restore from a backup, I could copy the backup from the external drive, place that copy into the original Mobile Sync Backup Folder on the MacBook pro hard drive, and then do a restore. Am I missing something? Thanks, Dan

iMac backup queries Hi there, I got two queries: I just got my new iMac, and want to transfer my data from MacBook Pro into this new device. I do not have hard drive so I could not use time machine to back up. Is there anything I can achieve? For example, iCloud backup? Like when I purchased iPhone 13 pro, Apple allows users few days to use iCloud to backup data, is it doable on iMac as well? If not, please guide how to do it, Thanks. Can I achieve "middle click" on my Magic Trackpad?

Yes, unless Time Machine is manually set to exclude them.
