Storing data on iOS

[ddas]

You may just set the attribute of a folder and not bother with individual files.

According to apple:

Starting in iOS 5.0.1 a new “do not back up” file attribute has been introduced allowing developers to clearly specify which files should be backed up, which files are local caches only and subject to purge, and which files should not be backed up but should also not be purged.

In addition, setting this attribute on a folder will prevent the folder and all of its contents from being backed up.
