HISTORY of the iOS Backup Extractor

1.2.4 (2024-11-13)

  • After export, media files have "Date Created" and "Date Modified" filesystem metadata attributes modified to reflect the dates originally set when created by iOS.

    Requested by #4.

  • Implemented --prepend-date and --prepend-date-separator options.

    These options make possible to prepend the creation date to each exported file. The files like IMG_1111.heic can be therefore exported as 2024-11-13_IMG_111.heic. The date separator can be modified using --prepend-date-separator option.

  • Implemented two special keywords for the --since parameter.

    Instead of DATE (YYYY-MM-DD), user can also enter one of these:

    • last-week, which means "current date" minus 8 days
    • last-month, which means "current date" minus 32 days

  • Added export for Apple ProRAW format files

    Files with .dng extension (Apple ProRAW) added to the list of exported media files.

1.2.3 (2024-09-06)

  • The backup time is now displayed in a local timezone.

    Before this change, the --list report showed the backup time in a UTC timezone. This was confusing and unexpected. Now the backup time is always displayed in the local timezone.

  • Added .3gp and .mp4 to the list of exported files.

    Files with these extensions are also exported from the camera roll. Requested by #3.

1.2.2 (2024-07-14)

  • Added --add-trash option.

    With -add-trash option, it is now possible to extract also files marked as deleted. Such files contain "_DELETED" in their filename.

  • Files are listed in a sorted order.

    Previously files were listed/copied in somehow random order. After this change, files should be listed/copied in a chronological order, from oldest to newest. This should make file listing more predictable because latest files should be at the end of the list.

  • Fix for Manifest.plist parsing on Windows.

    Due to a bug in the Mac::PropertyList Perl module, binary plist files (Manifest.plist, Status.plist) are sometimes randomly appear to be corrupted when running on Windows. When this happens, the script usually ends with the infamous Not a HASH reference at ios_backup_extractor.pl line 729 error. This change fixes this error.

1.2.1 (2024-03-22)

  • Added support for the new “Apple Devices” application on Windows.
  • iOS backup version check. A stored backup version lower than 3.3 is rejected.

1.2.0 (2023-11-07)

  • The first public version.
  • Provided Windows x64 binary is fully self-contained and requires Windows 7 or higher.
