How does it compare to PkgBackup?

when you say Apps, are their data also backed-up? for example WhatsApp, will the chat history and media be backed-up too?

It will only backup AppStore App Data, nothing more.

Updates are free for current owners.

xBackup, AptBackup, Etc all suck compared to this application. Thank you SO SO SO MUCH EvilPenguin!!!!

Looks interesting. I will have to give it a try. @AChurchNerd

Sounds promising. I use xBackup to save all my Cydia apps, but this seems to back up everything, although I generally don't like to back up different apps on data on different devices to the same place, which is the problem with cloud storage. Still, I'll have to check it out.

You can change the backup location for each device :)

Make sure you use it on iOS5.x before you upgrade to iOS6.x :)
