Apple provided iPhone users with two methods, iTunes and iCloud, to back up their photos, music, contacts, notes, and iBook. The official iTunes software that we're all familiar with offers options to backup your iPhone from iPhone to a PC or Mac. However, iTunes and iCloud won't allow you to edit iPhone backup files from PC. Is there any way to edit iPhone backup file on Windows PC? The answer is yes.
There are plenty of alternatives to iTunes around, but only a few of them allows you to edit the backup file on Windows PC.
