If you regularly update your Mac or MacBook If you've upgraded to the latest version of the operating system, you've probably noticed that the not-so-popular iTunes app has been removed from macOS 10.15 Catalina. After iTunes was removed, many users were happy to no longer have to use it. However, if they had known what was coming, they would probably have been happy to continue working with iTunes. Apple in macOS Catalina, iTunes has decided to "move" to Finderwhere you can manage your Apple devices. However, if you don't have any devices connected, you won't be able to access the device management interface. So how can you find existing backups on your system without a connected device? We'll look at that in this guide.

If you want to find out which device the given backup belongs to, then specific unclick the folder, and then open with the app TextEdit file info.plist.

Great, that helped.
Hello,
I found the backup. I will attach it. iPhone, I select the backup, click "continue" and it says "cannot restore, backup does not exist". It takes up 46Gb on the disk. It somehow goes through Finder open in folders. I mainly use it for backups of old photos that I already have in the next iPhone I do not have.
Thank you,
