In Titanium Alloy, does the default database backup to iCloud automatically?

I've created an app that uses the Alloy framework to store data. I've found that the default Alloy database that gets created is called _alloy_.sql and is stored in the app's [APP_ID]/Library/Private Documents in the iPhone Simulator.

I was looking around on how to get this database backed up on iCloud, so that the users data would stay with them from device to device. But all the questions I found online where about turning this feature off, please see Support turning off iCloud backup for auto-generated model databases.

I have a few questions around this:

  1. Does this mean that the default Alloy database is already backed up on iCloud?
  2. Is there a way to confirm that this is the case?
  3. How do I test that it is successful?
  4. Should my app appear inside the iCloud settings section of the iPhone settings?

The Alloy database is exactly the same as every other database that you can create using

Ti.Database.open("db_name"); // _alloy_

or

Ti.Database.install("db_name"); // _alloy_

And it should be backed up by default ,so yes you are right it is already backed up.
