CAn any one tell me how to back up all the information to my PC. This isn't rooted and I don't want to root the tablet
... Anyway, doesn't the backup to Google server option help here? I've not had to restore from it, so I don't know...

I "believe" that the google backup service only backs-up google related data. This includes your google play download/install/uninstall history so it knows what account to backup and apps to re download in the event of a restore but also includes your contacts, calendar, etc.
That's my observation from reflashing my phone multiple times with a jellybean rom.
carbon backup can do it without root.
You do need an app on a computer to enable it to work first, but it will help you with setting that up. I use carbon and it works like a charm.
And as for why you can't back up apps without root, it is to combat piracy. If you could just copy apps off of your tablet that easily there'd be nothing stopping anyone from getting an app, then putting it on the internet for anyone to download and put on a tablet.
Personally I don't care about backing up the apps themselves, but really wish google would provide a way to backup app data/settings. That would eliminate 80% of people's needs for using Carbon or rooting and getting Titanium, etc.
