I know, this is not an application, but I really hate the auto-backup that starts every time I connect my iPhone to my computer. So what to do if you want to disable it?

Simple, if you are an Apple user quit iTunes and open Terminal (Applications > Utilities > Terminal) and type

defaults write com.apple.iTunes AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true

if you want to enable it again just type in the Terminal

defaults write com.apple.iTunes AutomaticDeviceBackupsDisabled -bool false

I told you it was simple
