Connect the iPad to the Mac via a USB. After that, close the iTunes. Then open up the “Utility” folder and then launch “Terminal”. Type the command “defaults write com.apple.iTunes DeviceBackupsDisabled -bool true” on the terminal. Then press on the enter button. This will disable the process of backup completely. In case if you want the backup to be enabled just enter the comment “defaults write com.apple.iTunes DeviceBackupsDisabled -bool false” on the terminal. This will turn the backup ON.
