when you back up your ipod to icloud, does it take just the photos on your camera roll?

hi, so i shattered my ipod. and i guess the only way to keep all of my info on my ipod is to back it up to icloud?

i was wondering if when it backs the ipod up, does it take all photos ever taken on the ipod or just the current ones in the camera roll?

also, does it save all music regardless of where you got it?

iPod touch

- Just the ones that were in the iPod's camera roll album when the backup was made. If you delete some photos and then backup again, the previous backup is overwritten with the changes which results in the photos you deleted being deleted from the backup.

-- Only iTunes purchased music is backed up to iCloud. It does not even have to be on the iPod when you make the backup since you can redownload most iTunes purchases

Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

- See the following for details of what the iCloud backup includes
