iPhone Backup Extractor: Extract and Recover iPhone Data
Why need an iPhone backup extractor
Why need an iPhone backup extractor? It’s decided by the file type of the backup file. The iTunes backup file is not a common file, but an SQlitedb file. It’s not readable. So even you find the backup file, you can’t get the content out of it, let alone restore to your iPhone. This is why the iPhone backup extractor comes out.
Well, there is another thing you need to notice. Don’t sync your iPhone with iTunes after you find the data loss on your iPhone. Because iTunes only updates the backup file every time you sync with it, not to build a new backup file. So if you have synced your iPhone again, the backup file will be overwritten by the content on your iPhone, and the lost data will go forever.
