hi guys,

basically i own an iphone 4. now i have 4 unit of ipad2 that belongs to my bosses.. i have been ask by one of them to manage all ipad in terms of backup and restore.. the reason behind this is, the bosses are not it literate (but want to use ipad.. demn... )..

so now i was thinking that i need to create 1 itunes account for every ipad.. (they need to give me their credit card number hehehehe i know what to do laaa... hahaha). but i was wondering, whether i am able to do backup for those 5 ipad on my single notebook. is it possible? what is the howto? will it spoiled my settings of iphone backup and restore process? any comments and suggestion is highly appreciated. thanks...

nope, multiplexer. you're OK.

just make sure you name all of the iPads with their names, so that you know whose backup is whose.

it would be better if you set up their own Mac / PC to be the backup store, cos that way they would be able to backup whenever they're in the office.

you should do the first backup, then subsequent backups are as simple as plugging in the USB cable. even a 70-year old can do that (I would know, cos I know a few 70+ iPad users )

My concern would be that your laptop is the single point of failure. Make sure you get your bosses to pay for a backup solution + HDD for you.

guys, thanks for your reply.. really appreciate it.. but i was just wondering, the backup copy, could it be export to an external drive?
