I need an experienced digital forensics specialist to recover and restore my original encrypted iPhone 14 Pro backup.
Problem: Original encrypted backup created on 18 June 2026, approximately 68 GB.
On 25 June 2026, a subsequent backup overwrote the original backup metadata, including Manifest.db and associated files.
Most original encrypted payload files appear to survive, but the original per-file encryption-key records are missing from the current manifest.
The original backup password is available.
Previous recovery attempts and forensic examinations have not restored the original backup.
Required outcome: Recover the original backup data and make it usable for restoration, preferably through Apple Devices/iTunes. The objective is actual recovery of original files, not merely rebuilding metadata or producing a diagnostic report.
Working preference: Remote work is strongly preferred. The original Windows system and available backup files can be accessed remotely by mutual arrangement. Any proposed access to sensitive data must be discussed and agreed upon beforehand.
Please respond with:
Your relevant experience with encrypted iOS backups and forensic recovery.
Your assessment of whether this case is recoverable.
Your proposed approach and what access or evidence you would need.
How you would demonstrate successful recovery and restoration.
Payment condition:
Payment will be made only upon successful completion of the agreed recovery objective. Diagnostic reports, theoretical approaches, or unsuccessful attempts alone will not qualify as successful completion.
