When you try to use PhoneRescue to restore your iOS device from a backup, you may sometimes see the error code -2002. This error code means that the backup file you are trying to use is corrupt or damaged. There are a few possible reasons why this could happen:

  1. The backup file was not created properly. This could happen if you interrupted the backup process, or if there was an error when the backup was created.

  2. The backup file has been corrupted. This could happen if it was stored in an unstable location, or if it was transferred over a connection that was not secure.

  3. The backup file is not compatible with the version of iOS that you are using. This could happen if you are trying to restore from an old backup that was created before you updated to a new version of iOS.

If you see the error code -2002 when you try to restore from a backup, you will need to create a new backup and try again.
