So, I haven't had much luck following online instructions. I don't understand why Apple makes this so hard, I guess they just want to sell iCloud storage!
Anyhow, my main machine has a 256 SSD with External USB-C 1TB SSD drive (2020 iMac 27).
My two phones are 128gb and 256gb and I'd like to back them up to the external SSD. It seems I can only backup direct to the MobileSync directly on the internal drive, then copy the backup over to the external. I tried a SymLink to clone the external directory to show as "backup" but then I can't make more backups.
Anyone have better luck or maybe there is a third party utility you recommend using?
I upgraded to this 2020 from my 2015 as a deal fell in my lap and figure, who needs big internal storage. I'm finding out some of the annoyances quickly!
