Hello fellows,
I've got a backup of my iPhone I made on my computer (second one).
Is there a way I can check which iOS version this backup is ? Or check from which iOS version it was made?
Finally, is there a way to "secure" this back up to make sure iTunes or else does not overwrite with a new backup ?
Thanks,
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.12
Hello napo23,
We understand you would like to know how to view the contents of a backup file in addition, you would like to secure the backup. While you may view or access a backup file's contents, the contents usually aren't stored in a format that you can read. The iOS version should be the same as the date the backup was created. We have a great article that can show you how to copy backups to another location if needed. Check it out:

Hope this helps!
Have a great day.
Hello,
Thanks for the response but:
No, I would not like to see the contents of a backup. I would like to know from what iOS version it was done.
I do not keep a separate log nor do I remember what iOS version I had on the date of the backup.
So, I'm basically still at square one here.
How to see which iOS version on a iPhone backup to Computer ?
