A backup file is a copy of the content that you store in your iPhone. Creating frequent backup files for your iPhone will be helpful in restoring the device to a particular time or date. Apple gives you the chance to backup the contents, including the apps and their history, to iCloud service or using iTunes.

Although advantageous, it is impossible to download only the needed files from the backup file and you cannot individually select only a few files from the backup. Instead, you will have to restore the whole backup to your device to view and check your data in backup.

Troublesome? Well, you now have the opportunity to selectively view bakup files from your iPhone backup on PC for windows 10/11/mac and even download individually.
