Question:
I need to replace my handset. If I do an encrypted backup of an iPhone using iTunes on a different machine, is it possible to restore my old phone's contents to the new device and keep things like the keychain? Or, will that require a sync to whatever content is on the local machine?

Just wondering ... I primarily use my iPhone with iCloud and no longer really use my old computer because it's not here with me. — iCloud backups do not restore the keychain as far as I know.
