So there's a good chance I'll reload my computer this weekend for cleaning purposes. I don't touch iTunes for anything other then to sync my iPhone 3G so I don't know jack about it.
Is all my downloaded app data stored on Apple servers or is it local? If it's local how do I back that up and then restore it on a freshly loaded system?
With the phone I assume my best option will be to deauthorize it before formatting then just authorize the newly configured OS? In this case the OS is going to be a virtualized Vista because I'm sick of the added iTunes crap (Bojour, DNSResponder) running in the background and having to reboot when iTunes updates itself. So I'm going to have a VM dedicated to iTunes and my iPhone to simplify things.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
