For people who create documents or photos and stuff, a backup is useful but why does it need to backup your apps.

It only backs up the actual app not the files, they are already on your computer and it just adds their location to the backup data so in future it knows where to get them from.
It only backs up new materials, I have 6gb of comics in cloud reader and comic zeal and books etc and my backup takes exactly 1 minute 42 seconds(I know I said 30 secs earlier but I just timed it)
It doesn't back up any apps twice..? They are already on the PC so why would it? Although if you downloaded an app direct to device it will back that up on the FIRST sync so you also have it on pc.
