Jailbroken Backup question

[ethandude123]

If I get games from the AppStore and I backup my device with iCloud while I'm jailbroken and then I restore ( to get rid of the jailbreak ) to the backup, will I keep the games I had when I was jailbroken? If not how do I make that happen?

If you had bought the games legitely then they should backup.DON'T PIRATE!!!

That's not what I meant I don't pirate! I said if I get a game from the AppStore and I back it up while I'm jailbroken will I still have it if I restore to that backup?

iCloud doesn't actually backup the apps themselves, only the app data (saves for games, user preferences, etc).

If you're using iTunes: If the files for the apps are still in your iTunes library, then when you restore to a backup your device will automatically resync those apps back on.

If you're just using iCloud: If you restore to an iCloud backup, your device will automatically download and reinstall all of the apps you had.

If you are worried about getting your apps back, you can redownload them through the appstore in the "purchased" section.

Even though your device is jailbroken, you should be able to restore to the data you have just fine.
