Something went wrong when restoring my wife's iPhone after the official iPhone ATT unlock. I think the problem was that the hard drive of the computer filled up, and it was trying to create a new backup at the time. When we freed up hard drive space and reconnected, we got some weird partial backup restoring - it had the right apps and music, but not much else (no photos, no settings, nothing.
On the other hand, it looks like there should be something OK - there are two very similarly named folders in the backup location, one created when the procedure went wrong, and far too small, but containing the info.plist files etc, and a much bigger one from the correct backup time, containing lots of other files, but not the info.plist etc ones.
Is there a way to get the data back?! There's an 11 gigabyte folder there...
Edit: OK, I managed to find an even earlier full backup from the same day, and that worked! No idea why there were two partial backups...
