All the settings, account info, pictures and other data pointers are backed up to iCloud when the iPhone is connected to WiFi, plugged in and the screen is locked. Apps are not specifically backed up although references to them are and they will be brought back to the iPhone upon restoration. > 2.

TK: Kind of already answered in #2, but, again, this sync happens over WiFi between iTunes and the iDevice. > 5. does the computer have to be on while the phone is being sinked wirelessly? TK: Yes. In order for this to happen, iTunes would have to be open, and consequently, your computer would need to be on. TK: An important note though, is that iTunes WiFi Sync, is completely different than using iCloud Backup, they are two different entities. You do not need iTunes at all to be able to use the iCloud Backup service whereas, iTunes WiFi Sync does require it. The iCloud Backup service can also be turned on from within the Summary pane of your iPhone in iTunes or by doing what I mentioned in my response to #1.
