On to the review now. A relatively small download at ~530kb, the program runs instantly without any sort of installation. At first (and quite annoyingly), you are always presented with a screen where you have accept a license. It would have been better if it was possible to only have to come across this type of screen only at on the first boot.
After accepting the licence, you are presented with a screen displaying all the available backups that are currently present in the default folder in which iTunes saves the backups.
This Screen takes quite some time to show up since the program has to connect with its servers to check for update(which are quite regular) and to also to check for the available backups currently in your PC
After having chosen your desired backup, the program analyses it. The analyzing time varies anywhere between <15>
After the analysis is over, you are presented with 2 types of restores. With the first type you can restore all your Photos, Contacts, SMS history, Call History, Notes and Calendar entries. In the second type of restore you will be presented with the following screen:
As you can see, with file restore type 2 (also known as manual restore), you can choose whichever files you want.
Restoring about 800 files can take up to about 1 minute.
Once restored, all that is left to do is close the program and view all the restored files.
Once restored, you will find them in the folder where you had chosen earlier. As you can see, all the folders can be opened using excel.
Note: Once the extraction is done, the extracted backup will still be available on iTunes thus you don’t actually lose any data.
All In all, the Iphone backup extractor is an ingenious idea and is already very stable with stability releases coming out pratically every week. Available as free download with a 1 file extract limit, one can always try the program tho it might be a little steep at $25 but this is a great solution for saving all your data on non-jailbroken iphones.
Verdict: 5/5(Highly Recommended)

Based on 43-nanometer (nm) process technology, the 64GB NAND flash chip is the highest-density single-die memory device in the world to enter production. SanDisk is shipping 8GB and 16GB SDHC cards as well as 8GB and 16GB Memory Stick PRO Duo cards using X4 technology.
“The development and commercialization of X4 technology represents an important milestone for the flash storage industry,” said Sanjay Mehrotra, president and chief operating officer, SanDisk. “Our challenge with X4 technology was to not only deliver the lower costs inherent to 4-bits-per-cell, but to do so while meeting the reliability and performance requirements of industry standard cards that employ MLC NAND. Our world-class design and engineering team has applied its deep experience with high speed 2 and 3-bits-per-cell flash chip designs and collaborated closely with our leading design partners to develop and perfect new and powerful error correction algorithms to assure reliable operation. This intensive multi-year effort has generated powerful new patents and know-how, and demonstrates SanDisk’s relentless drive for innovations that result in the ever expanding use of flash storage in consumer applications such as music, videos, photos, games and numerous third party applications.”
“The shipment of 4-bits-per-cell technology is a necessary evolution for the industry,” said Joseph Unsworth, research director, Gartner. “Enabling this technology in mainstream products demonstrates a cost advantage in the flash memory industry that considers 2-bits-per-cell in a memory device as standard. The NAND industry continues to see a rapid pace of innovation, and adoption of this technology will be essential to remain competitive.”
