Hello everyone,
I have a totally different question. Few days back, I took an encrypted backup of my iPhone X and then I took those back up files from that computer. Now I have the encrypted back in my computer and I want to retain that back in my iPhone XS max. I do know the encrypted backup password
If anyone has any idea. Please let me know.
Thanks
iPhone XS Max
If you open iTunes and the backup is in the correct place iTunes should find it. To check to go iTunes Preferences, devices page, and the backup should be listed.

Just to answer the last part of your post; "I do know the encrypted backup password"
You do not remember your encrypted backup password, I can understand.
You do not remember having created an encrypted backup, I can understand this also.
This means iCloud Key chain was checked while creating the encrypted backup, because by default it is checked.
Look for it in iCloud Keychain.
Did you un-check keychain while creating the encrypted password (By default it is checked) See the pic below.
If you had un-checked then the only option that you have is, keep trying various passwords as there is no limit on number of attempts.
You may have forgotten that you had entered a password. --> About encrypted backups on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch ...

If you moved the entire folder from your computer to a different position / folder / disk, you need to put it back in the original position.

Thanks @dylan_k2013
I read the whole thing but there it only tell us how to copy it if i had too and i did copy the complete folder not any part of it. There is no information about how to recover that copied backup.
I suggest looking here: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204215
You mean you want to keep a copy of that backup on your phone? Or you want to restore that backup but you can't? Sorry, but the post is not absolutely clear.
Hi FranzWebber,
I want to restore that back up which i copied from my last computer.
Thanks for the concern @SravanKrA
But I said i do remember the password. Password is not the issue
Recovering of Encrypted back up?
