Completed a backup of my iPad ver. 8.4.1 to my PC running Windows 10 Home edition.  Backed-up using iTunes on the PC using the USB cord.  Could someone tell me where the backup is stored on the PC?  thanks -

A:

Open the Windows File Manager.

Click on Tools, Folder Options, View, select Show Hidden Files..., click Apply and OK.

Select OS (C:) > Users > XXXX (yourself) > AppData > Roaming > Apple Computer > Mobile Sync > Backup.

 

Please note that there is nothing you can do with these files (other than make a copy for backup) as they are only intended to be used for restoring your iPad.  Cheers...
