Abstract
As various features of the smartphone have been used, a lot of information have been stored in the smartphone, including the user's personal information. However, a frequent update of the operating system and applications may cause a loss of data and a risk of missing important personal data. Thus, the importance of data backup is significantly increasing. Many users employ the backup feature to store their data securely. However, in the point of forensic view these backup files are considered as important objects for investigation when issued hiding of smartphone or intentional deletion on data of smartphone. Therefore, in this paper we propose a scheme that analyze structure and restore data for Kies backup files of Samsung smartphone which has the highest share of the smartphone in the world. As the experimental results, the suggested scheme shows that the various types of files are analyzed and extracted from those backup files compared to other tools.
