How iPhone Backup Extractor works?
While iTunes does not import data directly from i-devices, these data are automatically backed up by iTunes onto a Mac or Windows system prior to an upgrade of the devices or during their synchronization. The backed up files are stored in the ‘Mobile-sync’ folder hidden in the user folder on either of the operating platform. In short, iTunes automatically make backups of your IPod touch, iPhone, iPad, and iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS data when you synchronize them with iTunes. Incremental additions of more data take place to the same folder during each synchronizing process. The files can at times become corrupted in case of any problem during such sync. This is why a separate folder is created by Apple before each upgrade. It is, therefore, advisable that users should backup their ‘Mobile-sync’ folder occasionally and before any major changes to their devices.
The iPhone Backup Extractor recovers lost data from your iPhone or for that matter any Apple devices by extracting information from the files stored in the above clean backed up ‘Mobile-sync’ folder, which iTunes automatically makes of your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
