hi,
i have an iPhone 11 pro 256gb and also a MacBook pro 256. I want to make a backup but there is not enough space so it s not possible.
Is there a way to change the location of the backup to an external drive?
iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13
Well, yes, but it’s sort of unofficial. You create a backup directory on the external drive, copy the current backup folder to it, then replace the current backup folder with a symbolic link to the new location. Here’s a cookbook type solution if you are not a Unix adept: https://www.imore.com/how-move-your-iphone-or-ipad-backups-external-hard-drive
