Question regarding managing backups....

Question

Hello and thank you in advance for your help!

My wife's phone has 4 backups on icloud. One of them is 23 gigs. But we have no idea what is in that old iphone backup.

My question is how do we see what is in that file? She may have some pictures in it and I'm sure she'd want them.

I even upgraded to the 2tb plan but that wasn't any help.

I remember when Apple used to make things simple and not complicated!

Thanks again for your help and I hope this question makes sense.

Pay close attention as this can get somewhat complicated:

Open iCloud preferences on your computer.

Click on the Manage button on the right below the listing.

Thanks for your help - but is there a way to see what are in those backups? Let's say there's pictures in there I'd like to save.

Thanks again.

Not without the help of third-party software. Look for such on MacUpdate.
