That's actually kind of ambiguous, because there are some files that
Time Machine *never* backs up. Font cache files, Launch Services cache
files (that's how come you get the "this application is being run for
the first time" dialog), virtual memory files, and so on are not backed
up.
And shouldn't be--they'd be worthless in a backup.
The paragraph you quoted is ambiguous and poorly worded. One could make
an argument, for example, that the OS system files, all your programs,
and all your data are "things you keep on your computer," but that
virtual memory files, Launch Services files, and so on aren't--they're
housekeeping files unrelated to the information that you want to keep on
your computer.
