The development of iBackup Viewer began in 2012 by IMACTools GmbH, a company specializing in data recovery and management software for Apple systems. The creators developed the application in response to the need for tools to access iTunes backups without requiring a full restore on devices. The code was implemented using C++ and Objective-C programming languages for the core components, with interfaces developed following Apple's design specifications for macOS applications.
