Is it possible to move iPad backup from iCloud to my own folder on Mac?

Hi,

My iPad backup copy in iCloud is rather large, about 2G. To save my iCloud space, I wonder if it's possible to move the backup copy to my computer, either under iTune or just my own folder on my Mac. I have googled around, found some 3rd party softwares such as backup extractor PhoneRescue.

Wonder if it can be done with any OS X tools? Seems to me it's a simple task to complete.

Thanks in advance for sharing

iCloud backup can be deleted but not moved.

It's there to restore from.

You can create a new backup of you iPad in iTunes but you cannot move an existing iCloud backup to iTunes.
