Key features
Copy music, movies, photos and playlists from your computer to your iPad
You can import music, videos, pictures, playlists and TV shows to the iPad instead of using iTunes.
Back up your iPad to your PC
Tick the music, video, photo or playlist files you want, then click iPad to PC to copy them to your local disk. That gives you a copy if the iPad is damaged.
