When You Sync the iPod Touch Or iPhone Where Are The Backups Stored
By default when you connect your iPhone or Touch to your Windows PC the device will sync with your iTunes. The sync not only synchronizes certain data as described below but it also does a backup of data stored on the iDevice as well.

Knowing the location of this data can be important in case you want to also take that data and make another backup off of your computer.
