When using Backup 2.0 with iPod, where do the backup files actually go? They don't turn up on the iPod in the Finder...

AFAIK Backup can only be used with your iDisk (i. e. .Mac customers). Right?
I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it.

Nope.



Although I've never backed up to my iPod. I'll have to try and see if I can figure out where the files go.

You need to tell Backup where to put them. Specify a file location on the iPod.

If your files are sensitive, you may wish to consider using an encrypted disk image on the iPod (.dmg file). They're very easy to create, and extremely cool.
