If you do an iCloud back up this will back up all of the apps stored on your phone.

Yes - true. Issues occurred when I purchased a new iPhone and setup the new phone using the iCloud backup. What I should have done was transfer my information phone to phone and not use iCloud. The 'missing' apps are still installed on my iPad and still work - so it's an issue of the apps not having been backed up to iCloud and their no longer being in the App store.


Bottom line, still need to figure out how to make sure all apps are fully backed up to iCloud without relying on the App store.
