Review: iPhone Backup Extractor

Posted by yaso Tuesday, October 20, 2009


by Tmyphone: For the past few months, ever since I first bricked my iPhone actually (which has happened a numerous amount of times), I have been on the lookout of an app on how to extract the backups that iTunes make of your iPhone/iPod touch. So I recently tweeted about my problems, and a fellow twitter(er) (and apple expert), Shawin, suggested I use a program called the iPhone Backup Extractor, free to download with limited features and $25 for a full 1 year license which include the all the program features, updates and email support. A little steep in my opinion but everything comes at a price these days…
On to the review now. A relatively small download at ~530kb, the program runs instantly without any sort of installation. At first (and quite annoyingly), you are always presented with a screen where you have accept a license. It would have been better if it was possible to only have to come across this type of screen only at on the first boot.


Once restored, you will find them in the folder where you had chosen earlier. As you can see, all the folders can be opened using excel.
Note: Once the extraction is done, the extracted backup will still be available on iTunes thus you don’t actually lose any data.
All In all, the Iphone backup extractor is an ingenious idea and is already very stable with stability releases coming out pratically every week. Available as free download with a 1 file extract limit, one can always
try the program tho it might be a little steep at $25 but this is a great solution for saving all your data on non-jailbroken iphones.
Verdict: 5/5(Highly Recommended)
