This has come up before on the list, but I haven't been able to find a reliable
location where I can store persistent data without it being backed up to
iTunes. We've got an app that downloads and stores quite a bit of media (audio,
pictures, etc.) that needs to persist on the device but doesn't

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 subj

The only way around is to set the extended attribute of your folder
in the documents folder to "do not back up."
The engine lets us do it by file, which would be fine for my purposes.
Just out of curiosity, does a

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. If the cache is unlikely to get
erased very often then I think the simplest thing is to just use that.
BTW, Chipp, I wasn't too worried about the file storage not working, I
was concerned that Apple would reject the app for storing data in
Documents if
Hi Jacque,
I'm storing everything in documents-- in fact I have my own "cache" folder
in there as well. Because of my workflow, constantly updating via DropBox,
I tend not to 'include' files outside a single stack, and I use the stack
to SpitOut on OpenStack different resources, such as template d

will be cleared.

Hmm... Do you mean backed up as in iTunes/iCloud? That would appear to be
unnecessary. I think cache is only cleared in low storage situations so it
might be appropriate from the users perspective. Otherwise I'd go with
documents folder with the do not backup property set.
