Editing an iPhone or iPad backup may seem like an odd proposition at first glance, but there are actually many reasons to do it, such as repairing backup data if it becomes corrupted, or merging data from different devices.
iMazing's support for backup file editing is very comprehensive, even if the backup is encrypted or spans different iOS versions, you can edit the backup content. Next, let's take a look at the specific operation steps with the editor.

Step One: Open the backup window
In the sidebar, select the device, and in the upper toolbar, click Backup.
Step Two: Select the Backup Copy to Edit
In the list of backups, select the backup you want to edit and click the "Edit" button. This will create an editable copy of the backup.
To ensure backup integrity, iMazing will generate an editable copy before editing the selected backup. After the copy is made, the editable backup will appear in the sidebar.
Step Three: Edit That Backup Copy
As with device backups, when using iMazing to edit a backup copy, you can edit the backup's photos, messages, calendars, contacts, applications, etc.
When editing backup copies, there are the following considerations:
- If using iMazing for Windows, the backup copy can only be edited on a 64-bit Windows operating system;
- In order to reduce the unnecessary occupation of hard disk space, the software does not occupy additional hard disk space when creating a copy, but actually creates a new backup file after saving the changes;
- Editing a backup copy is risky, and some changes may corrupt the backup, so it's best to determine if you want to make changes to something before proceeding.
Step Four: Import and Export Edited Backup Copy to Device
If you want to import the edited backup copy directly to your device after editing, you can click "Restore to Device".
In addition, the iOS device manager also provides other export methods, namely: export as folder, export as iMazing file, export all data, export original file and display in the file manager. It should be noted that in the "Export All Data" option, you can choose the type of data that needs to be exported.
Ok, the above is the method of using iMazing software to edit the backup of iOS devices, have you mastered it? In fact, in addition to editing the device backup, it can also be used to manage various application data in the device. Now click on iMazing to download and get the software experience.
