In Mac, maybe you wont find MobileSync in the Application Support folder. If this is the case after the backup finish go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices, then
select what update you are trying to locate, "right click" said update,
then select "Show in Finder." It should bring you to exactly where your
backups are located in your computer. Then you find the file and copy
it to the root of phone memory (not the external sd card). If you copy to the external sd card you may get the message that the file is encrypted.
