set up as new iPod or restore from previous?

My old iPhone died, so I purchased a new iTouch to replace it. I'm trying to set it up, but I'm not sure what to do at this point. I'm at the screen that asks if I want to set it up as a new iPod or if I want to restore from my last backup? If I set up as a new iPod am I going to lose everything in my iTunes?
Thanks!

Welcome to the discussions,
if you use the last backup to restore from, your ipod will have all the app data and settings again, as your phone did. For security reasons, you'll have to fill in some passwords again, for example WiFi and mail accounts. If you restore "as new ipod" you'll have to start from the scratch.
