This small script will extract pictures and videos from iPhone backup. Depends on which software has been used to do backup it, your backup location is:
- Windows: \Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\[ID]
- Linux: [your_choice_directory]\[ID]
[ID] - it is directory name with hash which is specific per each iPhone.
To run restore process, start script with options:
$ ./iphrestore.py backup_location directory_to_restore
I haven't tested this script under Windows but I assume that it should works as expected.
Why to use this script ?
- You only have backup and no iPhone
- You want to access to pics and videos without restoring them to iPhone
- You can't restore backup to iPhone (this was my case)
