I found this very interesting:

How To Backup and Copy Data Between iOS Devices - How-To Geek

I didn't know about iPhone Explorer, but it does what I've wanted to be able to do for ages: selectively back up 3rd party app save information before deleting the app from my device, without having to jailbreak!

Really nice.

I just want to add that what is mentioned there can be done with SSH too, and that if your iDevice doesn't work properly after restoring the backup that way, you just need to change the permissions of the folders to 775.

I was having problems with this (particularly after I SSH-Restored my contacts), and took me a while to realize I needed to change the permissions of the folders too.

EDIT: Yeah, if you mess up, you will need to jailbreak to change the permissions...
