It might be under the Account setting for your email account associated with the phone.

Update: To Restrict Background Data Go to settings Tap Data Scroll up a Bit and Tap your Settings Bar And there will be a Black Box With

on the Bionic:

press the menu button > press 'system settings' > press 'data usage' > press the menu button > press 'Restrict background data' and then you should see a checkmark and get a pop-up reminding you that some apps won't work with background data off > press ok

And unlike what we had with Gingerbread, you probably will now have a note in your notification bar that background data is restricted.
