Does iTunes backup all my contact info including notes attached to contacts?

I have notes in with my contacts (acct #s, etc). When I backup to iTunes does it save my contacts as well as those notes?

Yes. From Backup methods for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support:


Backups from your computer

A computer backup of your device, which is not the same as a sync, includes almost all of your device's data and settings. A backup from a computer doesn't include:

  • Content from the iTunes and App Stores, or PDFs downloaded directly to Apple Books
  • Content synced from Finder or iTunes, like imported MP3s or CDs, videos, books, and photos
  • Data already stored in iCloud, like iCloud Photos, iMessages, and text (SMS) and multimedia (MMS) messages
  • Face ID or Touch ID settings
  • Apple Pay information and settings
  • Apple Mail data
  • Activity, Health, and Keychain data (to back up this content, you'll need to use Encrypted Backup in iTunes.)

Learn how to back up your device using your computer, how to find backups on your Mac or PC, and how to delete backups that you no longer need.



A key exclusion is data that is stored in iCloud, which doesn't get backed up the computer, but will be available from iCloud when you're signed in.
