hello to all of you... pls help..

i had a dying iphone 6s plus , i bought an xs...
i made backup on i tunes from 6s and then itunes asked me to update it to ios 15.4.1... i made it but it stoped and itunes forced me to make it factory default... so i do that....

once i plugged it on my laptop it made an automatic sync and corrupted??? my backup...

i say corrupted??? cause itunes wrote inside the same backup folder , renamed old manifest.db to manifest_d.db, made a new manifest.db and probably kept all the other files (i see 40gb of backup).

how can i restore the files (photos and videos) or extract them ?

i tried to rename manifest_d to manifest but it didnt work .... i tried also on an old working backup inserting lines in its db but no luck...

any clue?
 

now i see it

each time a backup is created, it overwrites the old one. If the new backup got corrupted while overwriting the old one — you’re screwed. Backup data is gone.
