Do you archive/rename old iPhones’ local back ups with iTunes/Finder?

Just curious if anyone does this too in modern macOS' Finder and older macOS/Windows' iTunes. I started doing this to make extra back ups of my iPhones just in case. Yes, they take up extra precious storage. I also don't use iCloud as my storage back ups.


Thank you for reading and hopefully answering soon. :)
