i've watched many tutorials but your's was the only one that helped me actually . thankyou ! now my problem is that i transferred the backup in my external hard i want to get rid of my laptop in which it was backed up and also i don't have that iphone now (the one's backup i transferred ) . my question is how do i restore this back when i need to as i won't have this laptop to which the tranferred backup is linked to ? please guide me in this regard . THANKYOU !

[@edwardheath3706]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! You saved me from having an argument between my wife and myself. We’re switching phone providers and needed to back up our phones first just to make sure we don’t lose any information and our computer storages were full! So I bought an HDD external drive and couldn’t figure out how to change the back up location. Your instructions were phenomenal! Two thumbs up and I’ll suscribe!

[@jamalmohamed3338]

I'm having issues with backup is it possible to contact you anyways!

I don't think I have ever watched tutorial as good as this. I'm tempted to re-watch it just because it was so well done.

[@flyingscot19]

As mentioned by other reviewers, this tutorial is top notch in presentaion and detail. For example, just a simple detail like where to enter a space when typing in the PowerShell box is covered. I previously tried other youtube and online tutorials and ended up corrupting my existing iTunes backups simply because no one else mentioned where to type a space! Thank you for a very clear and consise tutorial.

Hello, Real person here, It always astounds me how the indian dudes on youtube will give you a clearer and more definitive method of doing things that actually works. I've wanted to do this for years and all the other vides have been a load of BS, and never worked which discouraged me and I never got it done. I hope whoever sees this also has it work for them. I made sure to delete the old files, have itunes make a new backup just to make sure everything was exactly the same as it appears in the video, and this time, I was successful. Good luck to all, and thank you Vikas for making a tutorial that has eased my frustration with this particular topic.

[@FriendlyVikas]

[@shannond818]

Thank you!!!!!! I’m getting a new iPhone today, but I have voicemails from both my parents that I’ve saved to voice memos so I can save them since they’ve both passed away in the last three years. I bought a new computer and external hard drive so I can make sure they are saved since I’ll never get to hear their voices again without those memos. I didn’t even think about the storage on the computer since I was planning on saving everything to the external drive, but of course that wasn’t easy to change where my iPhone would store my backup. You just saved me from just giving up and never updating my iPhone again. I can’t tell you how much your video has helped me. If I lost these memos it would crush me. Thank you.

[@rahkitty]

This was the BEST explanation!! Every damn website I went to, and some videos, didn't explain in nearly this depth and ended up being more confusing. Thank you thank you thank you!

[Update] 🔴 Guys, I see people facing issues while restoring iPhone after backing up using this method. Please don't save your iPhone backups on external hard drive, if it is not that necessary. And remove this link and save iPhone backup on C drive (default) before you restore it to your iPhone. Avoid restoring directly from Had Disk. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@RudiAlba]

All files end with .plist

[@RudiAlba]

Well are you going to help out? This didn’t work for me, what to do know?

[@thebak4d]

So what is the point then? Chances are, you’re doing this because you don’t have room on C drive. Can you not restore them from external? Then why waste your time?

[@DearxDhea]

Hi, do you have any suggestions for this problem? I don’t know what i should delete from my local disk

[@thebak4d]
