After that, click the disclosure triangle next to HomeDomain, and then next to Library. Scroll down in the Library list until you come upon the SMS folder. Click the SMS folder, and iBackupBot should display its contents —sms.db and Drafts—in the main window interface to the right of your list of folders. Export. Select an export location and click the Open button.
I usually recommend selecting the Desktop as an export location for easy retrieval. Next, you will need to export the SMS attachments folder. The attachments folder contains all of the attachments found within the conversations in the Messages app. Most of the attachments will consist of photos or perhaps video. Due to the nature of the content contained within the attachments folder, you’ll notice that it is significantly larger than your SMS database. Exporting the attachments folder is a repeat of the exercise explained above using a different location.
To export the attachments folder, click the disclosure triangle next to System Files and then MediaDomain. Once you click MediaDomain, scroll down and click the disclosure triangle next to Library. Finally, click the SMS folder to show its contents—the Attachments folder—in the main window located to the right. Select the Attachments folder and then click Export.
Select an export location and click the Open button. Again, as mentioned above, I usually recommend selecting the Desktop as an export location for easy retrieval later. We have successfully extracted the pertinent SMS data from the iTunes backup. Now, here comes the fun part—massaging that data back into a crispy clean backup file.
The next step is very straightforward. You’ll need to restore your device to factory firmware. It might be a good idea to save-off the device’s backup folder that we referenced earlier to a secure location. This makes it so that you can always restore using your full data, or access any other data that may have been on the device should the need arise. Basically, you want to make sure that you have other important information backed up like photos if any of that matters to you.
If you don’t care, and just want a fresh slate with your SMS messages restored, or you use iCloud to store majority of your device’s pertinent information like I do, then please feel free to continue. Beware: Restoring firmware means that you must upgrade to the latest publicly available firmware, and the latest firmware isn’t always jailbreak-able.
