iPhone backup not found

Confirm the backup exists

Proof Me Hard can only read backups that exist on the computer or in a location the desktop app can access.

1. 1 Confirm the backup was created on the same computer or copied completely.
2. 2 Keep the original backup folder structure intact.
3. 3 Do not rename or move files inside the backup folder.
4. 4 Use macOS for direct Apple backup workflows when required by the source path.

Check permissions and source choice

1. 1 Confirm you selected the backup import path, not an official export path.
2. 2 Grant the required folder access when macOS asks.
3. 3 Try again after restarting the desktop app.
