[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1234806, member: 38864"] They were absolutely incorrect. They may have been confused with the iTunes music library, but the backups for the iOS devices aren't stored there, as I've pointed out. Applying a similar trick should be doable for Windows as well. I'll look into it some more. I don't think deinstalling iTunes and reinstalling it to an external drive will work. The Backup folder for iOS devices is located in the user folder structure here: [CODE]C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup[/CODE] This is basically the equivalent structure to OS X's Library, and is separate from where the iTunes Library is stored, which is: [CODE]C:\Users\username\My Music\iTunes\[/CODE] Anywho, I'll dig a little and see how to make this work. Tomorrow, that is, thanks! I'm off to the beac… aww nuts. It's raining. Thanks for nothing? :Smirk: [/QUOTE]
