turn off auto backup

Hi all.

I'm desperately searching for a way to DISABLE the annoying backup of iTunes that starts automatically EVERYTIME I connect my iPhone.

I've tons of data on my iPhone and the backup take a very long time each time.

Be warned: I do not want to disable the auto sync, I want to disable just the backup so please, do not tell me how to turn off the sync, I already know how to disable sync..

I need the sync and I want sync it but I DO NOT WANT the backup performed everytime.

What's the way?

So pretty hard and difficult!

Thank you very much for your help!

iPhone 4, iOS 7.1

Oh my gosh that is the greatestest question and reply ever listed here.

Why are they so controlling all the time.

Of course you can disable sync, well until they took that function away in an update.
