Does iTunes sync/backup physically save app files on PC?

It says if I don't get it right the next time I try it will lock me out of my iPad! :-(

Sounds bad! :-(
Did you ever backup your iPad, using iTunes (computer)?

Do you mean by syncing it?

When you sync, your computer doesn't always create a backup. You'll have to take a look when your last backup was made.

I NEVER have backed it up!

It would be a good idea to back it up. In case you need to restore your iPad, you'd lose settings, ... and maybe important data, without a backup. iTunes will ask for your password, if you set that one up after syncing the last time. You could also backup through iCloud, if you have an account.

Definitely....backing up is a must!!

I thought once you've synced you iPad with iTunes on my laptop that it was automatically backed up? Where do I go to figure that out ? Why would SOME parts be backed up only? And other people have their iPad fully backed up. I would love to know the technical why this happens ! Anybody ????

Yes, if you sync with iTunes on your laptop then iTunes will create a backup. See if this article helps explain things a little better http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

Thanks Gabe, I sure hope I can do that with my restrictions blocked from me! Being barred from that I can't even to a simple re-set!?? I looked at my last back up and all that was backed up was 55mb!! Surely that is not a full backup!
