I lost my backup on iTunes

I backed up my iPhone 4S on a relatives laptop. I backed it up in February and I tried to restore it yesterday. I realized that she updated iTunes. I tried to find my backup but it wasn't there! There was no way to restore my iPhone from its backup because it wasn't there! I had so many pictures on there and now they're all gone! Is there any way to find it? And is there a reason that it happened?

They could have deleted the backup not realizing that they deleted it or that you needed it. Check to make sure there aren't any other user accounts on the computer. Each user account has their own iTunes account and could be there. Dig deep into folders to see of it stored a copy of the backup somewhere.

What kind of laptop you are using?

  • Is there a way(without computer)to move my texts from my iPad to my IPhone? ICloud backup? Had to restore phone to last backup and lost texts? Hi, yesterday I had to reset my phone (IPhone 8 plus) to factory default and restore it to its last backup (April 15th). I also have an iPad mini, which everything is Synced. I got everything back on my phone (up to date) except my text messages. I'm not able to access my computer right now and have read you can get them back my backing up you messages to ICloud.

  • Does iCloud Backup Take up more space then iTunes backup? When I backup my iphone on iCloud it takes up 4.7GB of iCloud Storage. When I backup my iphone on my mac with iTunes it only takes up 2.3Gb Apple webstie says itunes backup will backup your phone exactly as it is and that iCloud only backs up important information. So why does backing my iphone take 4.7GB of iCloud space but backing up my iphone with itunes takes up only 2.3gb of space on my mac?
