Q: Where do I find my iPhone backup file on my PC's hard drive?
I am trying to use a week-old back up of my PC from a portable hard drive, to restore an older backup file of my iPhone (which is done through iTunes). I want to restore the notes of my iPhone4 that I lost after upgrading to iOS 5. Unfortunately, my last available iPhone backup is the one I did after upgrading, and it does not contain these notes anymore. Does anyone know in which folder of the PC's hard drive would these iPhone backup files be located?
Thanks.

iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
- Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
- Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
- Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
