hi, my HDD is on exFAT format, I try to change the iPhone back up location to my HDD on my MAC. but I have tried several times but still failed.. I managed to create a back up folder with a black pointer, but the folder is in white color and when I launch back up on my iTunes, it says file not compatible or corrupted...
Any sifus here can help??
this is the symlink I tried, by changing the HDD name and my username... but failed... ln -s /Volumes/<externaldrive>/iOSBackup/Backup /Users/<username>/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup

No issue to backup to external Hardisk on my bootcamp windows though.
