One issue I did notice was when I deleted the files online, they repopulated online from the local folders rather than being deleted from local folders. Sync was generally fine performance-wise, though I didn’t go much beyond 1GB of files. The separation reduces user confusion, even if it might waste a bit of space due to duplication. There’s also a separate section where shared files are kept-i.e., files shared with others, not among the Internxt sections. These are not synced, but as with backups, simply copied to the photos folder. Photo backup simply backs up the photos on your phone as do Google Drive and iCloud (when enabled). ![]() These are a true backup and separate from files synced across devices. Simply rename the folder named by the UDID (without anything after it), and that will do the equivalent to "archive" it.You can add multiple folders to the backup list and they will then be copied to the online storage Backups section. (If you need to match an identifier to a device, you can click on the Serial Number in iTunes when you're looking at the phone info, and it will switch to the identifier (UDID)). There may also be extra backups made with the device identifier, followed by a date and time stamp. In this folder, each iTunes backup is a folder named by the device identifier. A file browser window will open to the Application Data folder.įrom there, navigate to Apple Computer -> MobileSync -> Backup. In the run box, type %appdata% (with the percents) and press return/enter. Windows 7, Vista, XP: From the start menu, select Run. A file browser window will open to the Application Data folder. Windows 8 and 10: In the Windows search bar type %appdata% (with the percents) and press return/enter. Right click (or control+click) the original backup and click Archive. Mac: iTunes menu -> Preferences -> Devices. ![]() I'm not sure if this is the question you're asking, but if you had a corrupt backup and you need to force iTunes to back up from scratch (rather than incrementally updating the existing corrupt backup), then you can rename the existing backup from it's usual folder name (or delete it). If you see things in the spotlight cache, and want help trying to see if we can dig into the spotlight cache file, send me an email through the contact link on that page I liked above (my blog). I don't normally dig in the spotlight cache file since I usually only work on files that are backed up, but this could be an interesting thing to do. Spotlight search for a bit of text from the convo and screenshot the results (the spotlight cache should stick around a while, but best to capture them to be safe.) The spotlight cache also stores a separate cache of messages if you have spotlight caching turned on for Messages. (If you know some text you're looking for, you can less the file and try to search for fragments yourself to get an idea if there's anything in there.) Since you're on a jailbreak, you can go look in the SQLite free space yourself, or use a tool to help you (like the others recommended - I work on one called Decipher TextMessage). (The full version does cost money, so again, full disclosure :) this is software I made that I'm linking to.) Decipher Backup Repair is made to reconstruct/fix incomplete or corrupt backups for restoring in iTunes as best as the situation allows (it depends on how incomplete the backup is.) ![]() The free trial of Decipher Backup Browser can help you preview the contents of the incomplete backup, to at least get a sense of what is there (photos, contacts, etc) and if the backup was encrypted. I'm the developer for a couple of programs that deal with broken/incomplete backups.
