Does Firefox Sync backup "browser.newtabpage.pinned" data?

I have been saving the data in "browser.newtabpage.pinned" as a text file once in a while so I don't lose all the custom stuff. Does sync restore this data and if not can you add it to what you sync?

Sync should be saving that data. The pref for it in about:config which is services.sync.prefs.sync.browser.newtabpage.pinned is set to true for me. I don't use pinned tabs so I can't verify that it does work for me.

See this - https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/about-config-editor-firefox - for information for accessing and about the about:config editor panel inside of Firefox.
