The terms "backup" and "restore" have now become the words frequently used by owners of a smartphone or tablet. For those who have an iOS device, such as an iPhone, backing up the contents of the device is an important operation that is carried out before updating the iOS system or before doing operations such as jailbreak or firmware update.
Both backup and restore operation can be done via iTunes.
