I've been having issues with applications on my phone, so I restored to factory default and then synced everything back. One thing I forgot though, was to copy off my camera-roll before I wiped clean.

"Although iTunes backs up most of your iPhone and iPod touch settings, downloaded applications, and other information (Contacts, calendars, notes, images in the Camera Roll), your audio, video, and photo content are not included in the backup."

iTunes made a backup before I restored to factory default settings. Would that backup happen to hold my camera-roll photos (and if so, is there a way to recover them... or dig around/recover anything in the iTunes backup), or am I out of luck? If they are there, is there a program that can easily extract out those contents - specifically, my camera-roll pics?

FYI, I'm running WinXP. Thanks.

Does the phone show up as a removable drive like an ipod does? If so, I'd turn on viewing hidden files and start searching that way.

Nope... can't access it as a storage drive (that's sort of the idea behind people "jail-breaking" their phones... it gives disk access rights). Only appears as a phone in windows explorer (to grab pictures).
