Gihosoft iManager

One of the best ways to make sure your mobile data is safe is to create frequent backups on your computer. If your current device is an iOS one, you can try Gihosoft iManager to explore the files in these backups.

When launching this app, it automatically analyzes your PC and detects all the backups you have previously taken using iTunes. You can find out information such as the time and date when the backup was created, as well as numerous details about the device.

More specifically, you can easily view the device name, product type, serial number, iOS version and device UUID. At this point, Gihosoft iManager can export the backup to a ZIP archive, access the backup location or copy it to a new folder. If you are an investigator or forensics analyst, you can also export the raw data.

If you are only interested in certain file types, you can select specifically the data you need: photos, voice memos, messages, contacts, call logs, voicemails, Safari bookmarks, notes, reminders, or calendar entries. WhatsApp and Viber conversations can also be extracted.

Regardless of the data you need, you get the possibility to preview it before exporting it to your PC. However, depending on the file type, the export options are different: the images retain the format from the iOS device, whereas the messages, WhatsApp and Viber chats can be exported to PDF, TXT, CSV or as attachments.

Similarly, you can export your contact data to TXT, CSV or vCard,

To wrap it up, Gihosoft iManager can be used by all those who want to quickly explore the contents of their iOS backups and want to extract only some of the files to their computer.
