What does iCloud back up? - Apple Support
iCloud Backup helps keep your data safe by making a copy of the information on your iPhone and iPad that isn't already synced to iCloud.
As you probably know, when you look at iCloud > Manage Account Storage > Backups > [your phone] > Show All Apps, you can see what's included in the backup and whether any apps got disabled.
