Shared Apple ID and Itunes on two separate phones

If I go back an retrieve and old back up to one of the iPhones that shares the same apple ID and iTunes account with another iPhone, will both iPhones be updated with the back up? If I do not want this to happen is there a way around it?

Backing up 2 different iPhones to one computer From my reading here, I understand that is fine to backup two different iPhones to the same computer. She has a iPhone 10 and I have a iPhone 11 but she now has a new 12 on order. She is very concerned that she might lose her pictures or music in the process. I prefer computer backups as compared to the cloud and I do not wish to mix our music between the phones so therefore I suppose that I shouldn't sync her phone to my iTunes. To my point, if we are going to back them up to the same computer, should I use her iTunes login for her phone and my login for my phone or does it make a difference? Any other advice would be welcomed.

The backup will affect only the phone you restore it to.
