1. Locate your iTunesPrefs.xml file. It’s usually located in C:\Documents and Settings\username\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes or C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Apple Computer\iTunes.

Hint: If the folder Application Data does not show up, make sure that hidden files are visible in the Windows Explorer

2.Backup your iTunesPrefs.xml file

3.Open iTunesPrefs.xml using a Notepad

4.Search for a section called User Preferences and paste the following snipped into the User Preferences Section after the first <dict>:

<key>DeviceBackupsDisabled</key>
<data>

</data>

5.Save the file and restart iTunes. Backups should now be disabled. To enable backups again delete the XML Snippet from iTunesPrefs.xml file.

When you’re done, it should look like this:
