Can you backup/transfer iOS individual game saves without jalibreaking your device

ios

I have both an iPod touch and an iPhone (yes, redundant, I have my reasons), none of them are jailbroken. Some apps I own are installed on both devices, I would like to copy an app's save from one device onto the other. I know that there are apps for jailbroken devices to backup saves but I was wondering if there's a method that doesn't involve jalbreaking (by a third party PC/Mac tool, for example).

(Side note: I know that restoring one device's backup on the other device will transfer all the apps states but that will mean wiping the device completely)

Best Answer

As long as you have a wifi / internet connection, most games should perform syncing with the 'cloud'.

Otherwise, you would need to access where the files are located, usually by some service like: iExplorer and PhoneDisk. If you cannot write to where the game files are stored, then yes, you will need to jailbreak the phone to gain write privileges.
