Music files are not backed up when you backup your iDevice, at least not
the Music files local to your iDevice and accessed by the Music app.
They are copied to your PC/Mac when you sync your phone though, so you
will have a backup copy after syncing with your PC/Mac. When you restore
your phone, you sync your Music to get it back onto your phone. It
doesn't get restored from the backup.

I right in thinking that any iTunes back up copies everything to the hard drive
on the computer Does this include music files. I suppose iCloud is no good
for music as it is only 5 gig. Is it 5 gig per device or apple id. Music
isn't in the checkboxes in iCloud settings. Are there any other options for
back up? I know you are supposed to be able to download purchased music
forever, but isn't there a caveat that the music has to be still in the iTunes
store, if it is removed from the store for any reason then you are out of luck.
Many Thanks Lee
