Sync must either be done over the USB cable, or through Wi-Fi  syncing to a single computer. Within iTunes, you should choose to '''encrypt''' the backup file for your device as an additional security precaution. You will find the checkbox for this option on the Summary page for the device when it is connected. If you do not encrypt the iTunes backup, all saved passwords for email and other accounts cannot be restored.
