Sure, the heart of the time-consuming part of back up is the applications, but opting to not send in those crash reports can shave off some duration spent staring at your screen hoping the progress bar will speed up already.

 All you have to do is choose “Don’t Send” when prompted with a dialog about sending diagnostic data to Apple.

If you’re like me, you get a bit annoyed when every day you try to sync your iPhone it tries to back it up. Check the box whether you want to opt out permanently.

Not the best option, but sometimes the only one when in a pinch.

However, there is something you can do to speed up the process just a bit. Backing up my iPhone took about 30 minutes today, which, whether you ask me, is just a little bit too lengthy. All you have to do is opt to not send any crash reports to Apple during the back up. Seriously. It’s so distant that I’ve simply cancelled the back up on occasion. And that would be fine whether it didn’t take an hour.
