With the availability today of Apple’s new operating system (iOS 5), it is a good idea to back up your data prior to upgrading. Besides iTunes and iCloud for backup, you can also backup individual records and forms to a hosted service using Dropbox. The advantage of backing up individual records is that you can also restore them one at a time, which is much faster than doing a complete restore. Whichever backup solution that you select, make it a regular part of your routine.
