I backed up before restoring my iPod and I cannot find the backup

I recently had issues with a forgotten passcode so I restored my iPod, but I also backed it up beforehand, and now I cannot find the backup, it had really important notes and the only notes that were deleted were the important ones. Can someone please help me?? I've tried WonderShare Dr Fone for iOS and other programs and none of them show the backup.

iPod touch (4th generation), iOS 6.1.5

If you backed up to iTunes then what is listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices?

Where are iTunes backups stored on your computer

The folder where your backup data is stored depends on the computer's operating system. Make sure the backup folder is included in your data-backup routine. iTunes places the backup files in the following places:

Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, and choose Run. Type %appdata% and click OK.
Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata% and press Return.
