Non-Total iPhone Backup

> Music doesn't need backing up because…

I was not correcting the claim that iSync backed up what needs backing up, but that it backs up everything, which it does not. Whether a selective backup program’s idea of what ought to be backed up and restored, matches a given user’s needs, is a question with a long and interesting history, but I’m afraid that much of my evidence is covered by non-disclosure agreements.

The sporadic reports I mentioned (but haven’t confirmed independently) were not about data in the cache, but in the parts of the file structure which are documented as being backed up. As I said, I have not confirmed these reports, but I’m surprised that you know that the app is buggy.
