Contact Microsoft, and report the detection error.

You may want to exclude the MobileSync folder from Windows Defender scans. This would appear to be a false positive, and might cause any attempt to restore your backup to fail.

Thanks to MrHoffman and tt2. I did both: Inform MS and exclude from defender scan.
