Don't forget to Backing Up iPod touch
iTunes creates backups of settings, downloaded apps and data, and other information
on iPod touch. You can use a backup to restore these items to your iPod touch after a
software restore or to transfer the information to another iPod touch.

Creating a Backup
iTunes creates a backup of iPod touch when you:
Sync with iTunes
By default, iTunes syncs iPod touch each time you connect iPod touch to your computer. iTunes won’t automatically back up an iPod touch that isn’t configured to sync with that computer. You can also sync manually by clicking Sync in iTunes. Note that iTunes creates a backup only once each time iPod touch is connected to your computer, before the first sync that occurs. If you sync again, iTunes doesn’t create another backup.
Update iPod touch
iTunes backs up iPod touch before updating iPod touch, even if it isn’t configured to sync with iTunes on that computer.
Restore iPod touch (if you choose to back up)
iTunes asks if you want to back up iPod touch before restoring it.
