My customers want to backup and restore without relying on iTunes. What is the typical way that iPhone apps use to backup/sync/restore data but without relying on iTunes?

Local client/server? This option seems painful due to the need to create a host side server for each customer to install. But the data is private. Maybe apple already has a programmable service to do this.

Some web service? Removes the need to create a host server, but now the data is not private. This is a good way to share high scores if it's a game.

If it's a web service, could someone tell me the programming API for it and the best service to use (google, etc).

Thanks
