I think I may have used a terminal script on my mac a while ago to turn off automatic backups on my old iPod, and I found a script that is supposed to reactivate it, however doing so doesn't seem to automatically backed up my phone. I discovered this problem when I restored my iPhone yesterday, and there was no saved backup!
Also, I have now set up my phone as I wish, so I right clicked on my phone in iTunes and select Backup (in order to make a manual backup), however, the backup takes only 2 seconds.... I fail to see how it backed up my whole phone in this time.
UPDATE: I just called Apple tech support and the guy told me that a) iTunes does not make automatic backups anymore and b) the reason backups are taking 2 seconds is because most of my data is from apps, and app data (i.e. high scores, etc) doesn't get backed up in iTunes. Is ANY of this info correct? I believed that iTunes did backup app data...
