App to retrieve iOS Notes from Time Machine backups

I am looking for a suggestion for an app which will retrieve iOS notes.


I deleted some notes around November, and want to try to retrieve them.


My thought is that given that I backed up my iPad to my Mac, I could recover my iPad backup from last October and extract the notes?


Some of the apps out there let you extract material from the *current* iOS backups on your Mac. But I want to extract the notes from an old iTunes backup, which now only exists on my Time Machine backup.


So some of the apps have a UI which presents all of the current backups in the window and you choose the one you want. I need an app which lets me browse to my time machine backup drive and select a very old backup (no longer on the Mac or in iTunes).


Is this possible?


Thanks.

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

You can restore one or more of these ios backups from your Time Machine volume, perhaps restoring them to an external drive or a special folder, and then there are various programs that can work on those files from your hard drive. Another one (which is a bit expensive but does work) is Dr. Fone wondershare
