Secondly, can you back up the old iPad to your computer? That is still an option in the newest (Yosemite) OS and my iOS 9... iPad. However, I can still back up that old iPad to iCloud, also.

As i 'm on snow leopard whith my old macbook , itunes back up is no longer avalaible ...
On Icloud back up there's something i don't really understand ...

Used space on my Ipad is 30,8 Go ...doesn't reflect the Icloud back up
Maybe there's something to do or i made something wrong ?

These are simply my opinions. A search on the web for something like "Why is my iCloud usage higher than my iPad?" might be worth while.

As you can see , the Ipad used space is 30,8 Go and the back up on Icloud only 5,8 Go
Maybe misunderstand something ...

It doesn't make a full backup - it only backs up your data (pics, emails - that sort of thing). Anything obtained via the App store or purchased through iTunes isn't backed up. It can all be downloaded again when/if you get a new device and connect it to your account.
I'm not sure why backup not available in iTunes - is it due to a mismatch between Snow Leopard and the much newer iOS? I don't know - you'd have to look that up. I always keep everything reasonably up to date, so haven't run into that.

And finally - a list of what is and isn't backed up in iTunes etc.:

You should be fine - get the new iPad, log into your account, enable iCloud and it will likely prompt you during the setup process to use the backup/synced info. Don't get rid of the old iPad before you've got the new one working properly.

It's not very pratical to download the apps one by one instead of a full backup....is there another way to get a full backup ?

Don't worry about it - YOU won't have to do very much of anything if you make a back up to iCloud first. Once you start the set up process, it will ask you if you want to restore from an iCloud backup and once you say "yes" it will install all those apps. (it will re-download them - but you don't have to *do* anything manually)

It's really very easy - just make sure you make that backup in iCloud. I got a new iPad this summer - it was painless. It took more time to take off the things on the old one that my husband didn't want (and leave the stuff he did!).
