I go lay in bed finally to download the apps and hopefully fall asleep. 30GB of Music copying begins.Ĥ:45am - Music copied. Why didn't I just do this 4 hours ago?Ĥ:00am - Backup restored successfully. Uncorrupted the stripped-down backup on the first try! Only took a minute. STILL FUCKING WOULDNT RESTOREģ:30am - Said seriously fuck this and paid for Decipher Backup. Just kept system settings and Messages mainly.ģ:00am - Eventually stripped my original (corrupted and bloated) backup from 2.0GB down to 150MB. Anything that I didn't explicitly need or was already in the cloud (contacts, email, most app data, any old photos, all voice memos etc). I was losing confidence in the tool.Ģ:30am - Said FUCK IT and deleted a ton of shit from the backup. Realized that iBackupBot sometimes deletes what I tell it and sometimes doesnt, or sometimes would on the 3rd or 4th time. Started searching and targeting those files with iBackupBot. WTF? Photos I legitimately haven't seen in 4-5 years.ġ:30am - realize i spent an hour lost in nostalgia looking through old photos.Ģ:00am - Many restore attempts later, started narrowing in on specific errors about files that either didn't exist or couldn't be created during the restore. Also found a lot of OLD photos in the backup that it was mysteriously still keeping somewhere deep in the back. been backing up and restoring the same chain of backups from all the way back on my iPhone 3G). Same issue.ġ2:00pm - Scoured reddit and found this recent thread which guided me to Decipher Backup Repair (ha! I'm not paying money for this!) and then to iBackupBot.ġ2:30am - installed iBackupBot, manually backed up my iTunes backup, and started stripping all sorts of shit from the backup. Restored the phone again fresh and tried to restore the backup before Tiag. iTunes said it was "corrupt or incompatible". Removed that and the update restore went swimmingly. It kept failing and I started going crazy until I realized I had NO PLS RECOVERY still installed via Cydia. That took a while.ġ1pm: Tried doing a full restore of my iPhone 6 from 8.1.1 to 8.3. Started around 9:30pm by updating my iTunes library with a ton of new music that I had been putting off. Apparently iTunes now just only keeps 1 most recent update for a particular device. I always do multiple (sequential/repeated) backups of my phone before an iOS upgrade since I've dealt with corrupt backups in the past (way back in iOS 3 / iPhone 3G days). I use Winamp and Mediamonkey to manage mp3s and Itunes Library Updater to commit those changes to itunes just so I can sync my damn music and not have to rely on itunes for anything else.
