(Part 1&2 Revised for BigSur) Also includes how to restore. kzread.info/dash/bejne/qKp2qLZwY9WYiKg.html (restore starts at 8min 42sec)

This is an absolute lifesaver! Mac running critical on storage as my iPhone backup took up 480gb of available 500gb drive. Every online help on this transfer gave a vague link to input and it keeps returning as "directory not found" on Terminal. This drag the folder in method is a miracle! Nothing can go wrong that way and only then did I realised there are other input to key in such in user, before the whole Library command. Thanks mate! Feel so liberated!!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! I tried several guides but they weren’t detailed enough for someone like me, who had never tried something like this, to follow. I hadn’t typed commands in at least 20 years but your video was so clear and the pace was so perfect that I could follow it without problems. Thank you again!!!

This video was perfect! Thank you so much I have been trying to do this for hours and this has been extremely helpful and IT WORKED!

An absolutely excellent video! Clear, concise and at just the right pace to follow and copy at the same time. Thank you :)

i tried for so long with so many videos and articles and this one finally worked God bless You!!

Thanks for the easy to understand, step by step tutorial - best one I have found so far! :)

Thank you, I was going mad trying to read all the articles that people were saying, seeing & doing always work best for me. Thank you again!

This was so helpful. Thank you! I have very rudimentary computer skills and my husband was unavailable to help. Your step-by-step guide was so easy to follow and made perfect sense.

Is there a trick to getting the new iPhone to recognize the new location of the backup? I'm trying to restore from the backup I created through your video instructions and it appears my computer isn't finding it.

Every article I found explained it similarly, but none would work. I followed your video, and it worked PERFECT. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain and make this video.

Perfect. Had to add permissions for my ext hard drive also, took around an hr for me all up but wudve been impossible without this walk through. Thanx alot 👊

Thanks man, so useful, great video. I like to backup locally over iCloud but I recently ran outta space to going to an external SSD is great. Thanks so much dude!

Thank you for this video took me hours of searching to find a solid that actually worked and this was so easy to follow

Worked for me, tried so many other instructions that failed this worked perfectly. Thank you!

Thank you for making this video! I read so many articles on how to do this and your video was super clear and concise! Keep up the good work!

Amazing! This is exactly what i was looking for. I have 4 iPhone to Backup and it was taking up 600 GB on my MAC's Drive leaving me with less than 20 GB of available space. This has solved my problems. THank you.

Thank you so much for this video! Super helpful and easy to follow

Thank you for posting this! Helped me immensely today!

Thank You, Thank You so much. I was able to to this thanks to your detailed and slow explanation.

Great video! Found different ways to do it online, but this was definltey the most informative and helpful one!

IMPORTANT: If your external storage has a name with spaces (e.g. “WD 25E1”) at 5:04 you should key it in as mkdir /Volumes/“WD 25E1”/iosbackup Hope it helps!

Thank you so much to create this video that helps me to move my iPhone backup file to an external HDD. I follow your instruction and it works perfectly! Thank you!

Thank you, thank you, THANK you. There were multiple articles online that had shorter versions of this that failed on my Mac. Thank you again :-)

Great tutorial, thanks man! Symbolic link - so simple. I love that in 2020 with such great tech, we can still rely on solid old Unix system admin. You just saved me 60+GB from my MBP internal disk - thanks :-)

It worked like a charm...thank you!

Thank you!!! I'd looked at many various and sundry directions as to how to change the backup direction (macOS Catalina) and every one of them failed ... until discovering your video instructions. Following our step-by-step instructions it worked the first time! Your careful instruction and video are greatly appreciated.

Thanks a Ton mate .. it worked seamlessly ... excellent step-by-step instructions ... got 50G released from my SSD ... cheers

IMPORTANT: I forgot to mention a small step you need to give Terminal "Full Disk Access" by going to System Preferences - Security & Privacy - Privacy - Full Disk Access - Add Terminal to the list by dragging the app into the window.

What should you do if you try to test if everything works by backing up your iPhone, and it tells you “an error occurred while reading from or writing to the iPhone” ?

Hi there! Thanks so much for this tutorial. It was easy to follow and I was able to move the backup to my external hard drive. I do have an issue where my finder does not show my last backup or have the option to manage the backup. Please advice what I should do or how to reverse this process. Another video with this topic could be really useful for many of us in the comment section. Thanks for your knowledge! Stay safe.

Thanks for this movie it was very helpful for me to do straight backup to my home NAS

Thank you. It worked

Amazing. Worked fine!

Absolutely insane❤love it.

Very helpful!! thanks

This video was very helpful thank you! Is there any different process I need to follow when restoring from this backup in the future?

I have tried few other videos and didn't work for me. But this video worked perfectly. thanks

Great video. Can I change the backup location to a usb flash drive as well? Instead of a external HD. Do I need to format the USB flash drive? Like you mentioned about the formatting the HD. Thanks !!
