Backup Garageband projects from iPad

I recently bought an iPad for recording my songs using Garageband whilst travelling in India, but I need to backup my work. I'd like to backup the full Garageband projects, not just an exported audio file. Trying to do this via iCloud or email isn't an option given the file sizes and the lack of reliable WIFI connections. I thought that using an external WIFI disk would be an option but after doing a little more research it looks like this isn't as straight forward as I'd hoped. If anyone can provide a solution I'd be most grateful.

iPad Mini, iOS 7, Garageband

Hello Mandody,

If you are using iCloud, your projects will be backed up there and can been seen in GarageBand on your Mac if you have one. If you want them backed up, you can make a back up in iTunes to save the projects as a whole and that back up can be restored in case something happens.

Using iCloud and GarageBand with iOS 8 or  OS X Yosemite

Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes

Hi Norm,

Many thanks for the reply, I really appreciate it, but sadly none of these options are going to work for me. iCloud won't work for the reasons stated in my original post. As for iTunes backup - I can't carry another computer around with me just for backups, so I'd have to rely on whatever machines are available to me in internet cafes. Just not practical. I fear my brand new shiny iPad Mini Retina 128GB is completely useless.

Maybe there's a Jailbreak solution :-/

But thanks again for the reply :-)
