Thanks a lot.... regarding the reason for such high compression 04:10 - i check a bit - it is because it only stores the metadata for apps - so huge files like xcode, fifa etc. will occupy no space. But it will ensure to save the app's own metadata like settings etc. This way the major bulk is not required to be stored. It downloads later on and will then use the old metadata. We feel its all the same. Thanks a lot for sharing!

Great information but is it possible to “view” old backups to make sure you want to delete them? I would like to see what old photos I have.

Thank you !
BUT…. Could you PLEASE make a video of HOW TO ACCESS and OPEN the backed up files…. Contacts, texts, photos, music… without syncing

I have 4 previous iPhones backed up on my iMac that occupy about 300 GBs, besides my current one. If I delete those old ones, will I lose any data anywhere? Thanks

[BlackSands]

Thanks a million! Apple support did not help me when when backup were corrupted.

[Lasthair]

Might be a dumb question, but you can use this backup once u buy a new iphone correct?

Hi, I backed up my iPhone 12 on my Macbook - a 128GB phone backup shows as 132GB on my Macbook. Now that my replacement phone has come back it refuses to restore it because of space constraints. Can you help?
