Can you backup/transfer iOS individual game saves without jalibreaking your device?
I have both an iPod touch and an iPhone (yes, redundant, I have my reasons), none of them are jailbroken. Some apps I own are installed on both devices, I would like to copy an app's save from one device onto the other. I know that there are apps for jailbroken devices to backup saves but I was wondering if there's a method that doesn't involve jalbreaking (by a third party PC/Mac tool, for example).
(Side note: I know that restoring one device's backup on the other device will transfer all the apps states but that will mean wiping the device completely)
Best Answer
Yes. If you have a backup you can use the iPhone Backup Extractor to retrieve your app data and then import it to your device.
