Download (Free): Switch iPhone Backup State
—-
Since iPhone 2.0 + iTunes 7.7 came out, people have been complaining about the new “Backup” feature which takes some sort of dump from the iPhone and stores for later in case the owner has to restore the iPhone. Well, most of us don’t need to backup on the daily basis, right?
I too got in on the iPhone 3G bandwagen earlier, but noticed the hour long process of syncing an iPhone with my iTunes to be EXTREMELY frustrating. That’s when I came across this article. Eeexceeeellent.
I tried and found the hack to be functional. But honestly, who wants to use a Terminal hack every time? So I developed Switch iPhone Backup State application. It’s a simple app. For technical inclined folks, this is a simple AppleScript application bundle. It allows you to turn on/off the Backup feature in iTunes.
*Warning* Please be sure to enable Backup every now and then and take a full backup of your iPhone. I won’t be held responsible if you blow months worth of data you accumulated in your iPhone.
