This morning I backed up my iPhone with iTunes. Once finished iTunes said backup was successful. Then formatted my iPhone, and went to restore. It say's the backup was corrupt.

Tried some closed source iTunes Backup fixer, didn't work.

Pretty heated right now, but oh well, what can I do? I guess I'll just have to start over. Thankfully I am a iCloud Photo Library subscriber.

So yes, can confirm, "It's not the backup, it's the restore."
