Backing up your iPad using iTunes is essential. Regular backups insure that your data will be saved to a computer in the event something happens to the iPad. iTunes will restore from the backup file if necessary.
But what exactly does iTunes back up? Here's a complete list.
iPhone OS 3.2.0
- App Store Application data (except the Application itself, its tmp and Caches folder)
- Application settings, preferences, and data

- Calendars
- Camera Roll
- Contacts
- Home screen layout and web clips
- In-app purchases
- Keychain (This includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. The keychain can only be restored from backup to the same iPad. If you are restoring to a new device, you will need to fill in these passwords again.)
