How to Transfer Messages from a New Backup to an Older One Using iMazing

Are you tired of dealing with buggy iPhone backups? Do you want to transfer messages from a new backup to an older one without losing any important data? Look no further than iMazing, the powerful backup editing tool that makes it easy to manage your iPhone's files and data.

The process of transferring messages from a new backup to an older one is straightforward, but it does require some careful planning. Here are the steps you need to follow:

Phase 1: Create an Editable Backup

To start, navigate to Media/Library/SMS in iMazing and drag and drop the Attachments and Parts folders from your desktop to overwrite the backup's Attachments and Parts folders. Next, navigate to File System -> HomeDomain/Library and drag and drop the SMS folder from your desktop to overwrite the backup's SMS folder. This will create a shallow copy of your backup that you can safely edit without destroying the original.

Phase 2: Edit the Backup

Select the editable backup in the sidebar, which will allow you to make changes to the data without affecting the original backup. Then, right-click on the older backup in iMazing's sidebar and choose 'Create editable copy' from the contextual menu.

Phase 3: Transfer Messages

Now it's time to transfer messages from the new backup to the older one. Navigate to Backup/MediaDomain/Library/SMS and drag and drop the Attachments and Parts folders to your desktop. Next, select your iPhone in iMazing's sidebar and navigate to File System -> Backup/HomeDomain/Library, then drag and drop the SMS folder to your desktop.

Before you can restore the edited backup to the target device, make sure that you have backed up your iPhone with iMazing using the latest messages from the new backup. This will ensure that all of your important data is included in the restored backup.

Finally, inject the edited backup into the older but functional backup, and extract the SMS database and attachments from the newer, buggy backup. With these steps complete, you should now have a working backup with all of your messages transferred over from the new backup.

In conclusion, transferring messages from a new backup to an older one using iMazing is a simple process that requires some planning and attention to detail. By following these steps, you can ensure that your important data is safely transferred and preserved for years to come.

Remember to always use the latest version of iMazing to ensure that you have access to all of the latest features and tools. Happy editing!
