You have no backup, which is why when you went to edit - preference - device - backup - there was nothing no backups.


And that why on your screenshot - latest backup - never been backed up to this computer.


Sorry you have no backup to restore from.


IOS files is not an itunes backup.


had you erased your phone and during the set up process you select restore from itunes backup, it would've restored if you had on, but you don't.


Last time I will respond to his post you have no itunes backup
