I have tried to find the backup (in the screenshot) using Find Any File and it doesn't appear to be on my Mac.Īs for Mac OS update essentially, I created enough space to update to Big Sur, completed the installer download and then the installer indicated that it would require about 34GB to install (I only had 17GB) so I then decided not to go any further and I deleted the installer. You can even backup your iPhone to iCloud and also make separate local file backups of the iPhone on a Mac. So you could restore your iPhone from either an iCloud iPhone backup, or from a backup you made on your Mac (that Backup folder inside Library). What did you set up iCloud for? It doesn't make extra copies of the iPhone backup files inside your Library folder on your Mac.īut iCloud can also be used to directly backup your iPhone. You say "with iCloud, every file would be safe." iCloud can, if you elect these options, be used for storing Photos, Contacts, Mail, Calendar, Documents, Messages, Keychain, Safari data, Notes and some other things and make them identically available across multiple platforms (Mac, iPhone, iPad. 12? Have you tried to restore your iPhone from iCloud, if you were using iCloud for iPhone backups (were you)? I also noticed on your screenshot that the box was checked to back up the iPhone to iCloud? Did you do that back on Dec.

You mention "Catalina then reinstalled (?)" but what does that mean? Did you interrupt a Big Sur upgrade from Catalina? Did you create a new user account at any time? Could your iPhone have been backed up to another user account back on Dec. Your iPhone backup from Dec 12 should survive through an iPhone reset (that situation is exactly what these backups are used for, to restore back to the way the phone was on that date), and also through a MacOS reinstall. Did you try Find Any File to look for a file with the name shown in your screenshot? I feel like there are many moving parts here and I don't have all the information.
