iPhone 6S Back up

Hello.

My daughters phone is eligible for replacement we found out today. But, she did not bring her laptop with on this trip. Can someone please tell me how I can back up her iPhone on my computer and not worry about mixing up .Mac accounts, or having her songs and stuff end up on my account.

I just want to back her's up on my computer, swap out her phone, and restore her's from the back up on my computer.

Would I just un-log me from my iTunes, have her log in on my computer, sync and back up. Then plug the new phone in and sync back?

Or???????

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.2), 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7 with 16 GB RAM

Backups are device specific and you needn't worry about the mixing of information. Just be sure you restore the correct backup as you can locate it following these instructions:

Alternatively, you could always backup to and restore from iCloud, that way there's no way whatsoever that your information could be mixed up.
