Backing Up Fire HD 10

I don't think it backs up any sideloaded apps / docs, for instance. Also, some apps have limits on what gets backed up. The Washington Post app bookmarks are not backed up, that's one I know for sure. I have both an HD7 and HD8, for reference.
Thanks very much for that feedback. If I have to do a re-set, I have no worries about the books, of course, but really don't want to have to re-install all my apps and so forth. Yes, I might have guessed that anything like side-loaded apps might not be saved. Much appreciated.
