Hi,
I am backing my iPhone to iCloud and I am wondering what is backup.
Suppose I am abroad and for some reason all my data and applications will be erased from the iPhone, Is it possible to restore all of them from my iCloud backup? Do I get back the image of my iPhone?
Thanks,
Amnon
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1
This article will explain the content and the use of the backup in iCloud:

when I tap setings-icloud I can't see an option that says it is backing up text messages. In the article above it does say it backs up text messages. How can I be sure that it does?
Text messages are included, page 173 of the iphone_user_guide 5.1
Backing up with iCloud
iCloud automatically backs up to iPhone daily over Wi-Fi, when it’s connected to a power source and is locked. The date and time of the last backup is listed at the bottom of the Storage & Backup screen. iCloud backs up your:
Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
Photos and videos in your Camera Roll
iPhone settings
App data
Home screen and app organization
Messages (iMessage, SMS, and MMS)
Ringtones
Those apps mentioned in Settings/iCloud/Storage & Backup/Manage Storage/Your phone/Backup options are mostly 3rd party apps. To reduce the size of the next backup you can disable them, if you want to save some space in iCloud. But text messages are always included.
Thanks all
Amnon
You're welcome 🙂
