[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1234677, member: 38864"] I just tested out an idea I had and it worked great! To start, grab an app named [URL="http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/10433/symboliclinker"]SymbolicLinker[/URL]. When you download that, you'll get a folder with a "plugin" and a "service". Double click SymbolicLinker.service to install that. Ignore the plugin item… it's for older versions of OS X. You won't see a confirmation dialogue… once done, it's done. Next, you'll need to move the Backup folder from your Library on your SSD to the Hard Drive you want it on. The location is: [I]homefolder[/I]/Library/Application Support/MobileSync After moving it, you need to create a symbolic link to the newly-moved Backup folder. Right-click on it, then go to Services > Create Symbolic Link. You will now have a file that looks like an alias, titled Backup symlink. Move that symlink back to the MobileSync folder, then rename it so it just says Backup. Once done, you should be set! [/QUOTE]
