Can I move my iPhone back up from Mac to Mac and then restore it?

I want to move my iPhone back up which I've done on my Mac, couple of days ago, to another Mac book to use it with the same phone, is that possible?

Backup iPhone to Macbook without restoring Hello Everyone, I have been having this issue where whenever I connect my iPhone 12 to my new MacBook Pro M1 (macOS Monterey 12.5.1) in order to back it up, it states the following "The contents of the iPhone “iPhone” could not be read. Click Restore to restore this iPhone to factory settings." I clearly do not want to reset or restore my iPhone but I want to back it up on my Macbook and it won't allow me! My question is: How can I back up my iPhone 12 to my Macbook Pro (macOS Monterey) *WITHOUT* having to restore my iPhone to factory settings? Thank you and I would appreciate someone helping me!

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.

Unfortunately, no.

In your situation, I'd recommend you backup with iCloud: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with iCloud - Apple Support, or make a new backup on the other Mac: How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch with your Mac - Apple Support.
