Domain (iOS backup)
Definition
A prefix in the iOS backup manifest that identifies the origin of each backed-up file. Common domains include HomeDomain (the device home directory), AppDomain-[bundle ID] (a specific app's sandbox), and MediaDomain (the media library). The domain and relative path together reconstruct the original file location.
