It does back up everything (default apps, AppStore apps), but not jailbroken apps. Music doesn't need to be backed up (except if you buy music from the iTunes app on your device) as it's already on your computer! I think by default it'll back it all up (shouldn't be resetting you settings, as that would constitute you restoring).

i know but it desnt backup the music which is important it takes time to add everything by folders and all that hehe there must be an easy way

Nope, the music that's on your computer is the music that goes onto your device, which takes and incredibly long time (especially if you fill it to the brim). But if you wanted to back up your music yourself, get an external hard drive and attach it only when needed.

I suggest you to read this article about "how to backup iPods/Iphone":

I have a little problem like that.

Sometimes my playlist messes up, and istead of deteling my music, my ipod touch says that it doesn't have music but is still there.

I can see the space used.

So how can I backup my playlist, so when that happens, I just put the backed up playlist and it goes to normal again.

hi,
There are many models of iPod's like iPod Classic, iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano and iPod Touch. All this modles are compatible with iTunes software. But what if you want to backup the iPod manually.

The iPod can be backed up either fully or selected playlist and music tracks can also be backed up easily. But for that you need to select good iPod backup software that can perform the action efficiently.

If you want the selective iPod transfer then you can also perform this task using the software easily. So, no more headaches while backing up of iPod files.

Beast of luck!
