How to Change iPhone Backup Location <\/b><\/h2>\n
While being reliable and manageable, the issue with local backup is it can take up to several GBs of space. If there are several iterations of backups, it could take even more, exhausting your precious disk space. So it is advised to move the backup file to an external HDD or USB drive. To change the iPhone backup location, follow the steps below:<\/p>\n
1. The folder of the backups is called MobileSync<\/b>.<\/p>\n
2. On Windows, the folder is located in: C:\\Users\\*USERNAME*\\AppData\\Roaming\\Apple Computer\\MobileSync\\Backup<\/b>; on macOS, the folder is at: ~\/Library\/Application Support<\/b>.<\/p>\n
3. Copy the folder MobileSync<\/b> to the new location.<\/p>\n
4. Delete the folder Backup<\/b> or rename it to something else to keep it.<\/p>\n
5. On Windows, Press Shift+Right Click to open a Command window from that location and type in:<\/p>\n
