So now to get back (most of) the photos and movie from &#8220;Camera Roll&#8221;  , first locate my full backup directory in my machine running win7 x64  , now it is in : <\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\nC:\\Users\\[USERNAME]\\AppData\\Roaming\\Apple Computer\\MobileSync\\Backup\\<directory>\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Then backup the directories to some working directory , so that I can start finding the right photo files. Those backup files does not have any extension ,  but these are apps, data, photo or movie files being backup-ed one by one. So you need to guess the file type by file size (roughly) . For instances, those files like under 5M in size is likely to be photo files (Likewise , for those bigger size are likely of extension .mp4) , I put those files under a particular working directory and batch-ly add an extension of jpeg to them :<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\n% ren  *    *.jpg\n<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>After that , you can  browse the working folder with large icon to verify if they are really photo files or movie files. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I lost my iPod Touch recently , all photos and movie taken with it are not being backup .
