Mobile phones have entered our lives tightly many years ago and today they can replace photo albums with family photos, notebooks, music players and many other things that were so necessary before. It is not surprising that the safety of all the information contained in the smartphone worries every owner. Therefore, it makes sense to periodically duplicate them to another medium in order to ensure their existence, regardless of the fate of the gadget. The manufacturers of the famous Apple company in this regard tried to surround their users with maximum comfort, offering a choice of two methods of copying data. So, let's explore where iPhone backups are stored with the possibility of their further recovery.
It's no secret that "apple" products are distinguished by a special "mind and ingenuity". The developers of these gadgets are doing everything possible to ensure that, despite the complexity of the devices being created, working with their creations for users is as simple and easy as possible. Anothera distinctive feature of all inventions operating on the famous iOs platform is their closedness. For example, methods of storing data that are typical for gadgets from other companies can never be repeated using Apple devices. Therefore, before dealing with where iPhone backups are stored, let's look at how you can copy data from this device.
First and foremost, the most commonly used backup software is iTunes. In addition to the fact that this creation is an online store of music and video files designed specifically for the iOs system, it is also a place where backup copies of iPhone and other "apple" devices are stored. In order to transfer information from your gadget to iTunes, it will be enough to start the process of synchronizing the software installed on the PC with the Apple gadget, previously connected to the PC using a USB cable. It is worth remembering that synchronization is possible only if you have active Internet access.
Also, iPhone can be backed up using the iCloud system. In this case, the files saved in the "cloud" service will be automatically updated from the device when there is access to the network and when connected to the charger. However, this does not sync products that were not previously purchased from the iTunes Store. It is also worth noting that the most reliable copy, which includes all the contents of the gadget,is performed when it is synchronized directly from the PC. So, after all the necessary manipulations have been performed, it is worth finding a place on your own computer where iPhone backups are stored. It will depend primarily on what software is installed on the PC. For example, if the iOs platform is used, then you can find the saved files in the "Libraries" branch, then opening "Application Support", where you need to find "MobileSync". When using Vista or Windows 7, copies will be placed in the Users document tree, where, after opening AppData and Roaming, the Apple Computer folder is found. iPhone owners working on a PC in Windows XP should pay attention to the "Documents and Settings" folder, where, by opening "Application Data", you can find "Apple Computer".
