Hey guys, I have just jailbroken my iPhone 3gs on my mac. I am a little afraid that in the future I will want to restore my phone and unjailbreak. However, I do not want to lose all of my game progress and texts and everything else. So how can I make my iTunes create a new back up file for the phone when it syncs? I would like to save the last one (non jailbroken) that I synced with so I could possible restore from it in the future. Thanks a lot! and please tell me if i need to clarify this because I know it is confusing haha
You can just manually make a copy of the backup file. In Windows, its at C:\Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup On a Mac, its at /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ Edit: After you've made a copy of the entire folder (the folder with the really long name -- which is actually your iDevice's UDID), you can go to iTunes preferences and under the Devices tab, you should see a new entry (it should have the same name as the original backup -- I'm not sure how to make the copy have a different name when it shows up in this list).
Oops... Sorry. I didnt see that thread. If not, I would have answered Hope the info in this thread helps though...
