Describe the bug 1: when i use the command [pymobiledevice3 backup2 restore "D:\backup\b1"] nothing data restore. 2: when i use the command [pymobiledevice3 backup2 restore --system "D:\backup\b1"] it can restore system info likes the account info, but app data not restore. 3: when i use the command [pymobiledevice3 backup2 restore --system --source xxxxxxxx "D:\backup\b1"] two things found: 1: if already installed app, the app data could be resore. 2: if not installed app, the app data could not be restore

so, whether can fix this problem[2: if not installed app, the app data could not be restore], because iTunes and 爱思助手 could restore app data, need not install the app

This happens if you restore in update mode with the parameters —setting —system —reboot. To restore fully, include the —remove option so the system triggers a migration and all apps download from the App Store. Without the remove parameter, only data for existing apps will be restored.

[Lakr233]

The downside of the parameter —remove is that before the app is downloaded from the App Store via the network, you cannot install it with an IPA file. It’s inconvenient.
