Before we begin, it is important to point out that we should backup our device in case anything goes wrong. As we all know, we can choose to back up our whole device with iTunes. But this method is not flexible and friendly. It doesn't allow us to preview and selectively backup iPhone files. As for the the iTunes backup files, we can't read it normally on computer because of the format compatibility problem.
