Back up iPod touch
You can back up iPod touch using iCloud or your computer. To decide which method is best for you, see About backups for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
Tip: If you replace your iPod touch, you can use its backup to transfer your information to the new device. See Restore all content to iPod touch from a backup.
Back up iPod touch using iCloud
Go to Settings
> [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup.Turn on iCloud Backup.
iCloud automatically backs up your iPod touch daily when iPod touch is connected to power, locked, and connected to Wi-Fi.
To perform a manual backup, tap Back Up Now.
To view your iCloud backups, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > Manage Storage > Backups. To delete a backup, choose a backup from the list, then tap Delete Backup.
Note: If you turn on an iCloud feature (such as iCloud Photos or Contacts) in Settings > [your name] > iCloud, its information is stored in iCloud. Because the information is automatically kept up to date on all your devices, it’s not included in your iCloud backup. (See the Apple Support article What does iCloud back up?)
