How to change iTunes backup location

CHANGING ITUNES BACKUP LOCATION 

NOTE: CopyTrans Shelbee backs up the same iPhone content contained in regular iOS backups and in addition it backs up iPhone apps.

iTunes keeps the iOS backup folder directly on the system drive. The space on your primary Windows partition – precious and often scarce – is constantly reduced with the ever-expanding iOS backup folder. Follow the steps below in order to easily change the iTunes backup location. 

The need to relocate iTunes iOS backup folder to another drive

iTunes backs up only certain IOS data such as app files, settings and camera roll photos from the iPhone, IPad, or iPod Touch each time you sync. Nevertheless, it is often unaccounted for how quickly the IOS backup files may accumulate on the system drive and take up valuable system resources ultimately leading to a less than ideal system performance.
