How to create backup of your iOS device?

iBackup Extractor can create a backup of your iOS device on your computer, as detailed in the User Guide.

Alternatively, use iTunes to create a backup. When you connect your iPod Touch, iPad or iPhone to iTunes on your computer, iTunes will perform a backup of all the data on your device. Using iBackup Extractor you can browse and extract the information held within these backup archives.

However, your iTunes preferences may not be set to produce these backups by default. With iTunes you can set up automatic device backup to your computer or manually start a device backup yourself.
