iTunes Backups

Under the iTunes Backups section that states what's NOT included, what does "Content from the iTunes and App Stores" mean, because my apps were restored? Just need some clarification. Thanks.

None of your iTunes store downloads (apps, music, films etc) are included in the actual backup, the restore looks to pick them up from that iTunes library (e.g. the apps from the My Apps section of the library).


Also none of your own music (e.g. music copied from CDs) or videos are included in the backup, the restore will look to pick them from the iTunes library
