Change backup location: How to do it on your iPhone

Your iPhone can be backed up by connecting to iTunes and equally restored with this backup in case of a problem. For this, you don't have to use the default path, but you can change the backup location.

With these steps you can change the location for your backups on iPhone

Many users don't want to use the default location for backups, as they can take up a lot of memory over time. Basically, it is done by moving the backup folder to another location. Still, after all, you don't want future backups to be created in the same place again. Therefore, proceed as follows:

1. Change the location of the backup folder by moving it to any location.
2. You will find the files under the path "C:\User\[YOUR NAME]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup".
3. To see the folder, you must enable the display of hidden folders in the display settings.
4. Now open the command line via the key combination [WIN] + [R]. Enter "cmd" in the following text field and confirm.
5. Now enter "cd c:\" to land in the correct directory and then use the following command: "mklink /j "C:\User\[YOUR NAME]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "d:\itunes\backup"
6. In the second part of the command, specify the path to which you moved the backup folder.

If this is too cumbersome for you, you can also switch to alternative third-party software to create backups. These are much more rudimentary in structure, but basically offer the same protection.
