The contents of an iPhone backup are not meant to be viewed; the backups are designed only to be used for doing a full restore to an iOS device. You can view the date and time of a backup (i.e., confirm that a backup exists) by going to iTunes Preferences and clicking Devices at the top of the Preferences window.


There is 3rd party software available to access the contents of iTunes backups but I have not used them. One example is https://www.wideanglesoftware.com/ibackupextractor/
