Change Backup Location

I am using ITUNES WINDOWS to backup my iphone, but my SSD doesn't have enough storage.

Is it possible to change the backup location to HDD before I start the backup?

By the way, my last backup is stored in C:\Users\Tan\Apple\MobileSync.

No, you can't.


but you can copy the backup folder off to an external drive after you have made the backup to free up room.
