Backup File Location

Where does Apple store or back up my iPod Touch on my computer? I want to make sure that file is included in my backup system.

iPod Touch, iPhone OS 3.1.2

Hello beachgeek,

From the Apple support document provided below:

"The folder where your backup data is stored changes depending on the computer's operating system. Since iTunes only keeps one backup per device, you should ensure the backup folder is included in your periodic data backup routine.

iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
* Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
* Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
* Windows Vista: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\"
