Hi,
I am new to Macs and am attempting to change the backup location for my iPhone backups and cannot get it to work. I am trying to make the backup on an external hard drive in the /Volumes/External\ WD/iPhone_Backup location. This is the command I am using in terminal:
ln -s /Volumes/External\ WD/iPhone_Backup ~/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup
When I run this command a symbolic link is actually created in the ~/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup location called ‘iPhone_Backup’ on my Mac. The symbolic link is not being created on the external hard drive.
I have spent way too much time on this trying unsuccessfully to get this to work. Can someone please help and tell me what I’m doing wrong?
