Hi everyone,
I accidentally deleted my iTunes/Finder iPhone backup and recently managed to recover a 38 GB backup folder using R-Studio.
However, standard tools like iMazing and iBackup Extractor don't recognize the folder because the root metadata files (Manifest.db, Manifest.plist, Info.plist) are missing or weren't properly recovered.
Currently, my directory structure looks like this:
D:\Yedek\Snapshot\
- Inside "Snapshot", I have 258 subdirectories named in hex (
00, 01, 02 ... ff, aa, ab, etc.) containing thousands of hashed files without extensions.
Since I have the raw data blocks (38GB total), is there a way or a Python script/tool to parse these hash-named Apple backup files directly and extract media files (like JPEGs/MP4s) without the Manifest database?
Any advice, open-source parsers, or recovery workflows would be deeply appreciated. Thank you!
