If the app developer stores data in a "caches" folder, that folder is NOT backed up, even in iTunes. An iTunes backup requires you to backup the entire device, and then restore the entire device. Not very efficient and not 100% complete.This is why the Mac/PC file utility apps (iFunBox, iTools, etc) that allowed you to access the iOS file system directly (certain parts, like the apps and their data) were so useful. You could easily backup the app data and even the entire app (and only that app) with *ALL* settings, save games, data, the "caches" folder, etc, intact.With the introduction of iOS 8.3, these file utilities are now rendered useless to access the app's contents since Apple has blocked access to this type of app data. Apple loves to protect us from ourselves and at the same time, prevent us from having a TRUE backup of our data since iTunes does not backup 100% of this critical app data.</blockquote>
