Hi, i'm having trouble backing up iphone to itunes using windows. The backup folder is set to an almost full disk, so I cannot backup properly. How can I move the iTunes backup folder to another disk?

Thanks in advance

See Relocate iOS device backups. Review the rest of the Make a split library portable user tip for advice on organizing the library on external storage.

Boscie, 

Have you had the chance to try the support page below?

Download iTunes - Apple - Support - Downloads

Take care!

If Apple does not recommend as such, Apple should provide or allow us to change the backup destination. Restricting the backup location only on Drive C does creat trouble to most of us as it is the system disk which is usually set to small capacity or on a SSD to get the system work effciently. The backup files are usually large and consume so much space.

We'd like to beg Apple to allow such a capability i.e. backup destination change.

Do please consider!!!
