CoreRestore
[Under Construction]
MSB 3.1 adds a feature named 'CoreRestore', namely the ability to create a backup folder with a core subset of the current iTunes backup.
CoreRestore is implemented mainly via the MSB File menu. You must select or browse a device to determine which backup will be acted upon.
Core Items
Custom Selection
You can ALT-click on any row in the Photos & Other Files category to toggle a file's restore status (see screenshot). Files selected for restore show a green diamond in the icon. Folders may be set in the same fashion to flag/unflag all items enclosed.
Save
You can also rename this new folder for easier identification.
See the Restoring section for more details.

MSB 3.1 adds a feature named 'CoreRestore', namely the ability to create a backup folder with a core subset of the current iTunes backup.
CoreRestore is implemented mainly via the MSB File menu. You must select or browse a device to determine which backup will be acted upon.
Core Items
The basics, as listed in the Categories list (except for Photos & Other Files), namely the SMS, Calls, Notes, Contacts and Calendars, if present in the current backup.
Clear All
Reset - all files are deselected.
You can ALT-click on any row in the Photos & Other Files category to toggle a file's restore status (see screenshot). Files selected for restore show a green diamond in the icon. Folders may be set in the same fashion to flag/unflag all items enclosed.
Save
Creates a new backup folder with the selected items. It is automatically renamed.
If successful, you will be prompted to save your entire backup folder
before restoring, as a precaution. If you choose to do so, MSB will
offer to reveal the
Backup folder: the newly-created backup folder will have 'CR' and a
timestamp appended. You can also rename this new folder for easier identification.
