Backing up with iTunes

iTunes creates a backup of photos in Camera Roll or in Saved Photos, and backups of text messages, notes, 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 iPad to the computer you normally sync with, iTunes creates a backup each time you:

Sync with iTunes: iTunes syncs iPad each time you connect iPad to your computer. iTunes won’t automatically back up an iPad that isn’t configured to sync with that computer. See Syncing with iTunes on page 16.

Update or restore iPad: iTunes automatically backs up iPad before updating and restoring.

iTunes can also encrypt iPad backups to secure your data.

Encrypt iPad backups: Select “Encrypt iPad backup” in the iTunes Summary pane.

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