I have an iphone sync/backup that I made last year. I deleted itunes off my computer, but now I want to use that sync data to restore my iphone, if possible. I tried to look up my backups via itunes, but the file isn't showing up there. I know where the folder is on my computer, but it doesn't look like itunes is able to access it. Is there a way to use that old backup?
Windows, Windows 6
