Want an Apple tech to back up present ipad because I'm getting a new one. Genius bar says they don't do that.

I have to get a replacement ipad because the battery is dying on my present one. I would like an Apple tech to transfer everything on the old one to the new one. Genius bar says they don't do this. Any suggestions as to who does? I am not confident enough to do it myself.
