Ontology
iTunes backups are backups made by Apple iTunes and contain most of the data of any iOS-based device. Mac users use Time Machine. They can be encrypted. On newer iOS versions, some data can only be backed up with encrypted backups. The backups themselves are files with a random string and can be opened individually with FilExt. Backups can be browsed with iMazing or iExplorer. Backups of an iPhone connected to an Apple Watch contain the Apple watch's backup. These backups can be compressed.
