Restore to factory settings: will I lose the apps ?

Hi!

If I need to restore to the factory settings, will I lose the apps I have purchased? I can reload music and pics, but don't want to pay again for the few apps I got.

If I can back up, how do I do that?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

If they're only on the iPad, yes. Connect it to a computer and choose Transfer Purchases from the File menu in iTunes if needed first.

You don't need to pay for them again if you lose them as long as you're still able to log into the iTunes Store account used to purchase them.
