iTunes backup directory is on C drive by default. Many users use C drive as SSD with relatively small space. You can consider modifying and moving it to another drive, or even put it in a NAS mounted drive.

MobileSync directory

  1. Create a new directory MobileSync directory on the disk where the backup data needs to be stored, such as Z:\MobileSync .
  2. Find the current backup directory. By default, MobileSync directory under Windows11 is in C:\Users\用户名\Apple\MobileSync . If your own directory is not in this directory, you can search for the MobileSync directory in the C drive

After having two directory addresses, the mapping relationship can be established.

Map MobileSync directory
