I have older backups that uses .mbdb back up files that isnt compatible with this. Is there anyway to get it to work with older iphone backups.

I am also particularly interested in accessing older backups. If you have any intention to add functionality to the program, or resources that might be useful in me doing so myself, please let me know :)

@hellmage20 Well, if you are experienced in programming, you can probably find enough resources in the sources I linked in the Credits section of the README file. I would appreciate it very much if this program supported older backups and would love to accept a pull request for it.
The reality is that I will probably not have the time to implement this in the near future. It probably wouldn't be too difficult to read older backups, but it would take quite a bit of effort to integrate this in a modular way into iTunes Backup Explorer so that it still works with all the other versions. The problem is also that I don't have that much motivation as I only have a single .mbdb backup I don't need anything form. I would have to see if the phone it came from still works at all. Maybe some kind of bounty would help, but I'm afraid I can't promise anything.

Thank you kindly for getting back to me, I should have thought to look for resources in a credits section! Silly me. I think I'll have to add this to my backlog of projects that I'll get to some day. Thanks again :)
