I backed up my iPhone 12 to my Windows PC using iTunes. I cannot find the back up files anywhere on my PC. There are no folders named Apple and there are no folders named back up. I just want to know where these are stored and located in case I ever need to restore them. Please help.
iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 14
So to confirm, the searches for the %appdata% and %USERPROFILES% strings shows no results?
If there are no matching search results, then there are seemingly no backups, or the Windows search is malfunctioning.
If you’ve done a backup from the same Windows login as you are currently searching from, and if the search commands referenced earlier are not showing the backups, then you’ve seemingly proven that search is not working, or iTunes is broken.
Here are some discussions of re-indexing Windows Instant Search which might help determine which of these cases is arising:

I don’t have a Windows system handy right now, so I don’t have a good way to test this.
Thank you I tried this but as I stated this information does not appear:
No, unfortunately the strings show no results. I’m not sure how to test that the search is not working correctly.
Thank you for your help. I finally got it to work.
