One laptop; two Apple IDs

My wife and I have iPhones; I am getting a new phone today. I used to have a separate laptop for her Apple ID but no longer have it.


How do I back up her phone up on my laptop without compromising my back up and then setup/restore her new phone?


Thanks.

iPhone 8

To keep your data separate, try creating another user account in System Preferences/Users & Groups. Standard or admin should work.
