Browse, view, export, and edit iTunes backup files.
iBackupBot for Windows lets you control how you backup and manage your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch data. The backed-up information includes text messages, notes, call history, contact favorites, sound, and widget settings. iBackupBot even saves and transfers photos from your iPhone's camera roll or your iPod touch.
this software does not work at all. i wanted to use it to delete my messages off my phone but the software would not recognize my backup and when i searched for my messages none of them were there for me to delete. and to top it all off when i finally got fed up with trying, i attempted to delete the software only to find that it wouldn't delete from my computer when i tried to empty my trash bin. also this app almost made my dog have a heart attack since i got so frustrated i screamed and woke her up and startled her. this app is stupid

Cons
Ensure to run with administrator privileges (the first time only) to avoid any errors
Summary
I've long divorced from Apple and uninstalled their baroquesque iTunes system from my computer. the iBackupBot is the much needed breath of fresh air after all the bull Apple layed on me once I bought my iphone.
Adware/Spyware
NigNog99
Pros
Never got to use the software because my computer was crippled by spyware the moment I opened the file.
Cons
Spyware and adware will ruin your computer if you open this file. Malwarebytes found 129 malicious files on my computer after opening this. Even after using the antivirus software I am still having problems. It appears that I might have to wait for an antivirus update to rully remove all this garbage.
Summary
Avoid this program at all costs. It will slow your computer to a crawl with malicious files.
Spyware ruined my computer

Brilliant backup and recovering lost settings/passcodes
zygcnet
Pros
Some of your other reviewers seem to be using a different product or a very old version. I used it to recover (or rather reset) a lost restriction passcode.
You can open any plist file and edit, the write the corrected file to the backup. The real bonus is that you can restore just that file, without anything else. Normally Apple say that you have to do a factory reset and then sync all your apps and data which takes forever and is completely unnecessary.
Even better iBackupbot allows you to duplicate the backup first thus protecting against messing up the corrections.
I had a problem with files not writing back to the backup in version 4.1.0 of iBackupbot. After a couple of emails to support they had a corrected version (4.1.1)up on the web site within a couple of hours. That is what I call service.
Cons
The help files are a bit sparse
Summary
useless unless you want to write all data from a to b
whatsthat3
Pros
you are able to see and read your files like notes and contacts
Cons
first of all, I installed the trial version, could not find that nal ware program on my pc
1. no copy past possible
2. I experienced with export from backup extract, it goes into file formats, that can't be imported by outlook. xle but the fields are on the wrong place, db file instead of dbase
3. restore backup to phone, I got error 20, thats probably because my Iphone IOS was upgraded
Summary
I couldn't find, how a registered version would work, and I wont pay for something, that might end up as useless at that program

Deceptive. Misleading.
SlikRicky
Pros
Really none, since you don't get a chance to "trail" it unless you pay for it.
Cons
You don't find out until you waste your time downloading and installing the product that you have to pay for it to work AT ALL.
Summary
Product is unusable unless you purchase. "Free" and "trial" are misleading, and really shouldn't be allowed by C Net, which most people know to be a trustworthy site.
