We use iTunes to backup iPhone, iPad or iPod so that we can quickly recover iPhone data from iTunes backup when data loss happens. Now some people are curious about where the iTunes backup files are stored on PC and how to view iTunes backup files.
It is quite easy to find your iPhone backup files with our how to find iTunes backup location on Mac and Windows guide (opens new window). However, when you open iTunes backup files to have a look, you might be disappointed because iTunes backup is a kind of SQLITEDB file, which doesn't allow anyone to access or preview. Don't give up!
