Permanently save iOS backups Whenever I connect my iPad to my mac itunes backs up it's current state. This is great and I want to keep it this way. Though it overrides the previous backup, which is ok most of the time, but now I want to keep my current state, permanently.
So is there a way to select the current backup and keep it saved permanently, without it being overridden next backup?

By extension, is it also possible to keep iOS 6.1.2 saved somewhere (even after 6.1.3 is released), so I can try out 6.1.3 but can then always go back to 6.1.2 for jailbreaking? I was thinking of just restoring my iPad to 6.1.2, then back it up, and then save that backup, but perhaps there's a better way?
