    • State changed from “new” to “open”
    • Tag set to idevicebackup2
    • Assigned user set to “Martin S.”

    It looks like the protocol version is not correct.
    Which iOS versions were in use on each of the devices?

    • State changed from “open” to “resolved”
    • Tag changed from idevicebackup2 to idevicebackup2, protocol
    • Milestone set to 1.2.0 Release

    We are now at protocol version 3, thus this no longer applies and should work.
