iPhone 5s Won't backup- Not enough space on MB Pro... But there's 100's of GB's free

Recently reinstalled El Capitan on my late 2013 Mabook Pro.


Upon trying to restore, my Time Capsule failed and I was only (after days) able to copy files from it as it just wouldn't do it by itself. Fair enough though, as long as I was able to get my critical stuff.


Upon trying to backup my iPhone 5s in iTunes that failed as well, leaving me with an error indicating that there's not enough space on my hard drive. There's over 200gb free on a 500gb drive. Tried both wired and wireless.


I suspect that the restore failure had failed to copy something else that's essential and that I'm unaware of. Just guessing though.


Any thoughts? Thanks kindly in advance!

MacBook Pro with Retina display, iOS 9.1
