Backing Up iPad

Backing Up

iTunes creates a backup of settings, application data, and other information on iPad when you:

ÂÂ Sync iPad with iTunes on your computer ÂÂ Update iPad using iTunes

ÂÂ Restore iPad using iTunes, if you choose to back up when asked

You can restore backup information to iPad after updating or restoring iPad software, or you can use a backup to transfer your current iPad information to another iPad. See “Updating and Restoring iPad Software” on page 139.

Backups don’t include synced items, such as songs and videos from your iTunes library, or information such as contacts and calendars from your computer. To restore synced items, you must sync iPad after restoring backup information. If iPad is set to sync automatically, synced items are restored immediately after a software restore or update. See “Syncing” on page 28.

Applications from the App Store are included in the first backup after the applications are downloaded. Subsequent backups include just the application data.

For extra security, you can set iTunes to encrypt your backups.

Encrypt iPad backups:

1Connect iPad to your computer.

2In iTunes, select iPad in the sidebar.

3In the Summary pane, select “Encrypt backups.”

4Select a password, then click Set Password.

If the backup is encrypted, you’ll need to enter your password before restoring your backup information to iPad. Encrypted backups are shown with a lock icon in the list of backups in iTunes Devices preferences.

1In iTunes, open iTunes Preferences.
