I'm not talking about it being buggie. I'm saying it is a poorly written app and rather useless. I don't think iTunes has ever done WiFi backups well whether on my Macs or my Windows PCs. I only do wired backups now as it messes up more often than not with WiFi. And it has always been slower than fingernail growth.

Yes you can, but then that dialog will appear reminding you to backup your apps. And it seems that if I don't back up the apps the backup doesn't record the time correctly, leading me to wonder what else it messed up. It messed up my first backup this morning claiming it lost connection even though it was still connected via USB cable. I had to run it again and that time it recorded the correct time.
