What directories on the iPhone/iPod Touch are backed up during the iTunes backup process?

1

I have a jailbroken iPod Touch and have some files I need to save when I do an upgrade. I'd like the backup to be done automatically when sync'ing with iTunes.

Does anyone have a list of what directories are backed up during the iTunes backup process?

I discovered that /User/Library/Preferences/ is one directory that is backed up.

This official Apple document lists all the items that are backed up during the backup and synchronization process. As far as I am aware this list cannot be modified.

Thanks, I was pretty sure Apple wouldn't let me modify the list, but at least I could put my files inside the folder and kind of "piggyback" my backup along. – matpie – 2009-08-02T08:38:11.617
