Hello. I’m curious, I just got a 2020 iMac and as you all know, backing up iPhone happens in Finder now. If I have three user accounts on the iMac, mine, wife’s and daughters, can they also back up their iPhones in finder without our three iPhones getting all mixed together? With iTunes back ups, I feel like because you had to be logged into your own iTunes to back up that things couldn’t get mixed up. Can more that one person back up in Finder on a 2020 iMac?

The backups are saved in each user’s home folder. One user’s backup is not accessible by the other users on the Mac.
