    iPhone backup issues iphone 13

    Hello, I had a similar problem. I backed up an iphone 13 by 128gb and got a 133gb backup. Now he tells me I can't restore him because I don't have enough space on my phone. What is to be done? The phone is new, bought for about 3 weeks. The backup was made with iTunes on a Windows laptop.

    wireless HD backups?

    Manually backup Fusion Drive

    Hi again folks, I've gone and done it again. Basically I let my Mac Mini Late 2014 download until the HDD was 100% full, and did a restart before realizing that this was the case. Long story short, my HDD is corrupted and I get the crossed out circle when trying to boot. Anyhow, I tried to do...
