What iPad data is backed up by iTunes?

Backing up your iPad using iTunes is essential. Regular backups insure that your data will be saved to a computer in the event something happens to the iPad. iTunes will restore from the backup file if necessary.

But what exactly does iTunes back up? Here's a complete list.

iPhone OS 3.2.0

- App Store Application data (except the Application itself, its tmp and Caches folder)
- Application settings, preferences, and data
- Autocorrect dictionaries
- Autofill for webpages
- CalDAV and subscribed calendar accounts.
- Calendars
- Camera Roll
- Contacts
- Home screen layout and web clips
- In-app purchases
- Keychain (This includes email account passwords, Wi-Fi passwords, and passwords you enter into websites and some other applications. The keychain can only be restored from backup to the same iPad. If you are restoring to a new device, you will need to fill in these passwords again.)
- Mail accounts
- Managed Configurations/Profiles
- Map bookmarks, recent searches, and the current location displayed in Maps
- MobileMe and Microsoft Exchange account configurations

Hi everyone,

If iTunes is not enough or you want another alternative you can save all of your links on a Symbaloo webmix. You can do so by going to this link: bit.ly/aQ8Gfu and it works great on the Ipad.
