Friends who often use iTunes to back up iPhone may find that there is less and less space on drive C.. ......
Take Bian Xiao's computer as an example. The total capacity of drive C is 146GB, while the capacity of an iPhone is generally 16GB~256GB. Then how many iTunes backups you make for the iPhone will explode the C drive. Please do the math yourself!
If you don't want C disk to be backed up by iTunes, you must learn the following two tips.
First, transfer the backup
In addition to the accident of disk C, there are other hard disks available in the computer, and compared with disk C, other disks will have more space and use less. So we can save the iTunes backup to another disk. The specific method is as follows:
Locate the backup folder.
XP system is:
C:\Documents and Settings\ user name \ application data \ apple computer \ mobilesync \ backup
Win7/8/ 10 system is:
C:\Users\ user name \ appdata \ roaming \ apple computer \ mobilesync \ backup.
Next, all you have to do is cut and paste this folder on another disk, and then save it.
Second, change the iTunes backup storage path.
If you don't want to cut and paste backup files all the time, just change the storage path of iTunes backup. The operation method is slightly complicated. The following is a detailed introduction of Bian Xiao.
1. Download and unzip the connection file, and then copy and paste Junction.exe into the Windows directory.
2. Open the iTunes backup path and cut MobileSync to other disks to be backed up, such as disk F: F:\itunes.
3. Enter the following command: junction "C:\Users\ user name \ appdata \ roaming \ Apple computer \ mobilesync "f: \ iTunes \ mobilesync.
It should be noted that the user name should be changed to your host name, such as pc. Then press enter to pop up the application dialog box.
4. After clicking Agree, you will be prompted that: C:\Users\ User name \ Appdata \ Roaming \ Apple Computer \ Mobilesync \ Targeted at: F: \ iTunes \ Mobilesync has been created.
At this point, if you look back at the icon of the original backup folder, there will be a shortcut arrow. This successfully changed the backup path of iTunes.
As we all know, iTunes backup is in chaos after opening, so many users will use data processing tools such as Apple Recovery Master to view the content separately.
Some users may ask, if the path of iTunes changes, can data processing tools still find iTunes backup and open it?
In the second mode of Apple Recovery Master, if the system can't scan the iTunes backup, you can manually select the iTunes backup file and click the browse button below to find the previously set save path.
Having said so much, I believe everyone has learned. Friends who are about to explode or have a tendency to explode quickly let your iTunes backup move out of drive C!
