A Rust CLI tool that extracts files from iOS (iPhone/iPad) backup archives created by iTunes/Finder, restoring the original sandbox directory layout. It can inspect backup metadata, list domains, extract all or selected domains, and migrate domains between backups.
Use cases
- extract files from an iPhone iTunes backup
- recover app sandbox files from an iOS backup archive
- browse iOS backup contents with original directory structure
- list domains in an iOS backup
- transfer app data between two iOS backups
- inspect metadata of an iOS backup archive
When to choose
- you need to pull specific files out of an iTunes/Finder iOS backup
- you want the original app sandbox directory layout restored instead of hashed filenames
- you need a fast, scriptable command-line tool for iOS backup extraction
- you want to migrate a domain's data from one backup to another
When to avoid
- you need a GUI for browsing backups
- you need to create iOS backups rather than extract from existing ones
- you need to decrypt encrypted backups (not mentioned as supported)
- you need to modify backup contents other than domain migration
