Where Does Apple Configurator Store Data?
Apple Configurator keeps blueprints in Group Containers with device backups in MobileSync and pairing in lockdown. Profiles save wherever chosen.
Last updated
Apple Configurator splits management across four homes. Blueprints with images nest in Group Containers while device backups mirror Finder paths. Pairing trust lives in system lockdown with keychains. Organizations export to chosen spots.
Profiles save wherever picked per export with XML format throughout. Supervised restores branch on same-versus-new device rules. Copy the four homes per role rather than hunting one folder.
Where Apple Configurator stores this, by platform
~/Library/Group Containers/K36BKF7T3D.group.com.apple.configurator
Blueprints with IPSW images under the configurator group tree. Containers hold prefs beside blueprints. Copy while closed for migration.
~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup
Device backups interchangeable with Finder and iTunes unsupervised trees. Trust pairing lives in system lockdown with keychains. Organizations export password-protected elsewhere.
Frequently asked questions
How do I back up Apple Configurator?
Copy the Group Containers configurator tree with blueprints and images while the app is closed. Device backups live separately in MobileSync interchangeable with Finder. Pairing trust sits in system lockdown plus keychains.
Where are Configurator organizations?
Export organizations to password-protected files at chosen spots through Preferences. Profiles save as mobileconfig XML wherever picked. Supervised restores keep or drop profiles by target device rules.
Where do Configurator profiles save?
They are user-chosen per save with no fixed home. Backup and profile paths above cover the managed side. Supervised enrollment configs overwrite from backups on mismatched restores.
