    For iTunes backups :

    • Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

              The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.

    • Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

              To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.

    • Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\

              To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.

     

    You are unlikely to be able to make much, if any, sense of the files in that folder, unless you restore to the backup
