Backing up with iTunes

iTunes creates a backup of photos in your Camera Roll or Saved Photos album, and backups of text messages, notes, call history, your Favorites list, sound settings, and more. Media files, such as songs, and some photos, aren’t backed up, but can be restored by syncing with iTunes.

When you connect iPod touch to the computer you normally sync with, iTunes creates a backup each time you:

Sync with iTunes: iTunes syncs iPod touch each time you connect iPod touch to your computer. See Syncing with iTunes on page 15. iTunes won’t automatically back up an iPod touch that isn’t configured to sync with that computer.

Update or restore iPod touch: iTunes always backs up iPod touch before updating and restoring.

iTunes can also encrypt iPod touch backups to secure your data.

Encrypt iPod touch backups: Select "Encrypt iPod touch backup" in the iTunes Summary pane.

Restore iPod touch files and settings: Connect iPod touch to the computer you normally sync with, select iPod touch in the iTunes window, and click Restore in the Summary pane.
