So, I want to be able to back up my iPhone to an external hard drive, how do I do that?'

If you have the same problem as stated above, you won't have to worry any longer. On this page, we will teach you how to use two simple tricks to back up the iPhone to an external hard drive rather than the internal hard disk on both Windows computer and Mac easily and straightforwardly.

Part 1. How to copy iTunes backup to external hard drive

Saving iPhone backup files to an external hard drive is a relatively smart move when there's not enough storage on your computer.

Step 2: Find the iPhone backup location using the following ways.

On Windows:

Windows 7 and Vista: C:/Users/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/MobileSync/Backup/

Windows 8/10: C:/Users/YOURUSERNAME/AppData/Roaming/Apple Computer/MobileSync/Backup/

Windows XP: C:/Documents and Settings/Users/Application Data/Apple Computer/MobileSync/Backup/

On Mac:

Press Command+Shift+G on the keyboard to open the Go To Fold interface, then copy and paste: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/

Step 3: Find the folder, then copy and paste it to your external hard drive.

• First of all, if you’re backing up your iPhone with iTunes or iCloud, you’ll never know what files are covered. Instead of copying and extracting specific files from your backup folder, you have to transfer the whole folder to your external drive without knowing what’s inside.
• Another thing is that the terminal commands can easily go wrong. Even a single mistake can ruin the whole process, so you’ll have to start again.

Luckily, you can use some third-party tools like EaseUS MobiMover to directly back up iPhone to external hard drive without using iTunes and iCloud. Now, following the Part 2 to do it.
