Table of Contents

Data Management is an option in Legacy iOS Kit where users can do the following:

Connect to SSH: Connect to the device via SSH.
Mount Device: Mount the device using sshfs (this gives access to /var/mobile/Media)
Mount Device (Raw File System): Mount the root of the device using sshfs (this gives access to /)
Cydia App Install: Mount the AutoInstall of the device using sshfs (this gives access to /var/root/Media/Cydia/AutoInstall)
Backup: Create a backup of the device using idevicebackup2
Restore: Restore backups created using idevicebackup2
Erase All Content and Settings: Erases all data of the device and resets it to factory settings (iOS 9+ only)

Accessing Data

For accessing data via SSH, note the following:

Host: sftp://127.0.0.1 | User: root (or mobile) | Password: your password (default is alpine) | Port: 6414
Use tools like Filezilla to access the files.

You may need to select Pair Device first to get some options working
For "Mount Device" and "Connect to SSH" options, your device must be jailbroken and have OpenSSH installed
You need to run "Connect to SSH" at least once for the "Mount Device" options to work.
Limited support for backups. Better use iCloud Backups or something instead
Backups do not include apps. Only some app data and settings
- For dumping apps, go to App Management
Backups are stored in saved/backups
For alternatives on dumping apps, go to: https://www.reddit.com/r/LegacyJailbreak/wiki/guides/crackingapps

sshfs is a requirement to use the "Mount Device" options. On macOS, sshfs may not be easily installable due to the FUSE dependency. Here is how to install sshfs on modern macOS:
Install Homebrew: https://brew.sh
Run: brew tap macos-fuse-t/homebrew-cask
Run: brew install fuse-t-sshfs
sshfs should now be installed, verify by running sshfs command.
