Jul 6, 2016 12:18 PM in response to elcpuby MFS9721,This doesn't answer my question- I already have my iTunes Library on an external drive, however the iPhone BACKUP file defaults to the C: drive and it doesn't give you the option to change it. I need to backup the phone itself to the external drive, not the iTunes library.
Thanks!

"You need to point iTunes to the library on the external drive. Hold down the OPTION key while opening iTunes. You will be prompted to select a library. Navigate to the external drive to select the iTunes library you wish to use. From that point on when you sync the phone the backups will go to the iTunes library on the external drive."
