iTunes says iPhone backup is corrupted

Hi Apple,

When I sync my iPhone 6S Plus with iTunes I receive a message this message, "iTunes could not backup the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again." How do I locate the corrupt backup so I can delete and backup this phone?

Please help me out asap ...User uploaded file

Hey, I've just had the same problem (for the first time). So I deleted all my backups. But iTunes still gives me the same message: iTunes could not backup the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone. Delete the backup for this iPhone, then try again Not sure what to do... Restarted. Signed in an out of iTunes. Any ideas?
