I've been backing up iPads to Windows PCs for years, using iTunes.
The program is heavy and cluttered, but it does work and it gives me 
access to all the books, pictures, videos etc. on the Pad.

I tried out a few other apps, such as iBrowse, but they promised more 
than they delivered. And then I found out that they simply browsed the 
Windows files created by iTunes. Sneaky devils!
