Don't restore your iPod touch with 3.0

My ipod is working great under 3.0, but I decided to do a restore and it turned into a real mess. I of course did a sync right before the restore, and I only had one backup available in iTunes. So I hooked up my iPod, clicked restore, and it went through the usual stuff before before it restarted and gave me the window that allows you to backup your data. As I only had one backup, that's what I used when to my horror I saw that it wasn't putting all my stuff back on my iPod. So it restarted with nothing on it but the factory apps. While doing the restore it produced another backup. So I kept doing restores. Long story short, to get my stuff back I had to go through the various backups until I got the one with my stuff.
Speaking of which, does anyone know where the touch backups are kept on the hard-drive? I would think it should be pretty easy to tell an empty one from the one with all my stuff.

~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
That's where iPhone backups are kept according to this thread. Are your touch backups in that path too?

So as far as I can tell there aren't any specific touch backups in there. And by specific I mean I can't tell an empty backup from one with all my stuff.

OK, I think I've figured out what's going on here. If you restore your touch and it just comes up blank, all you need to do is a sync. I guess all your stuff is still in iTunes and just needs to be brought back onto your touch. I've done this several times now and everything (bookmarklets, notes, contacts) all come back as before the restore. I hope this helps someone out there
