I searched a long time to find information to figure this out. After a few hours of trying, I found your video and it helped me redirect! Thank you for your video!! I saved it in a new folder and everything. For anyone else working on this, If you do as I do and make more folders than necessary, in your cmd code, make sure to redirect EVERY folder you make. my new direct was D\itunes\mobilesync\backup if you add a folder, include it in your command line!! thanks again

Excellent video Lurgs. Absolutely brilliant. My 250 gb ss drive was getting so used up by my Apple backups. This was the solution to clearing up space on the c drive and storing the backups on another drive. Thank you also for updating the command line in January. That helped me big time. I also subscribed to your videos. I also use backups in the Apple cloud but I like to have a backup on my own computer. Seems in this day and age I feel safer with two backups. I like keeping my pictures. I don't want to loose them. So to me, it is worth it to pay Apple monthly to backup to the cloud. Paying $2.99 a month for that. You the man Lurgs!

Your current folder location might look like "C:\Users\Guest\Apple\MobileSync\Backup". Whatever it is just copy the full location. 3- Then use this command mklink /J "C:\Users\Guest\Apple\MobileSync\Backup" "Here write the destination backup folder location for example, D:\Backup" 4- Press enter Hope this helps :)

All I get when I enter any of those is "system cannot find the path specified", no matter which of the links in the description I used, I've tried all of them.

make sure you cut the mobilesync folder from the C: drive instead of copying it. if you can't, just delete the mobile sync folder from the C: drive after copying is done to D: drive. Then the commands should work.

Legend! I couldn't update my iPhone because it wanted to backup to my C: drive and I didn't have enough space. This worked perfectly! NOTE make sure you change the letter of your drive accordingly for example I had to change mine to "E:\MobileSync\Backup" as the drive I wanted to use was E: not D:
