How to restore ipod from recent backup.

I just wiped out some of my ipod content when syncing and would like to restore my ipod from a previous backup. I am not sure how to do this. I clicked on the restore button and it tells me it is going to reset my ipod to factory settings. How do I tell it to restore to a previous backup?

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

Love to be able to do that but can't find where the original or the lastest backup is stored. I have searched everywhere and I have not been able to find where it is stored on my computer. Any suggestions on how to find it. I did a date search of the entire computer looking for a file that was modified as of the date of the latest backup but did not find anything that match. As you can tell I am not very computer savy.

1.Connect your iPod to the computer where the backup is located using the USB cable included with your iPod.

2.Launch iTunes if it does not open by itself.

3.Select your iPod from the "Device" menu on the left side of the iTunes screen.

4.Click the "Sync" button on the bottom right side of the screen to begin restoring your iPod. A status bar will appear at the top of the iTunes screen and will disappear when the syncing process is complete.

Where Backups are stored
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\
