There's also a wonderful open-source command-line suite for intefacing with iOS devices: http://www.libimobiledevice.org http://www.libimobiledevice.org The idevicebackup2 command lets you do encrypted backups and restores. The ifuse command lets you mount the iPhone as a fuse fs, which is super super handy because the photo folder names are APPLE100,APPLE101,etc and don't change, unlike the folder names that get generated when you plug in the iPhone normally :) Really great software, made backing up my stuff a breeze.
