How to change the iPhone backup location

How do I change the location of my iPhone backups from \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\ on my pc (windows XP) to an external hard drive, so future backups will be saved there?
Thanks!

  • How to change the default backup location?

    SQL Server puts backups in a default folder C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Backup
    Is there a way to change that to a different location?
    I'm using Smo.Backup object in my code to create backups. The backups I create are stored in that default folder, but I was hoping that I can change that default location without having to make code changes.
    Is that possible?
    thanks.

    To read the value from the registry you can issue the following command:
    DECLARE  @BackupDirectory  VARCHAR ( 100 )
    EXEC  master.. xp_regread  @rootkey = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' ,
       @key = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQLServer' ,
       @value_name = 'BackupDirectory' ,
       @BackupDirectory = @BackupDirectory  OUTPUT
    SELECT  @BackupDirectory
    This will provide the following output, since we changed the value above directly in the registry.
    If we want to change this back to the default folder we can use the following command
    EXEC  master.. xp_regwrite
          @rootkey = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' ,
          @key = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQLServer' ,
          @value_name = 'BackupDirectory' ,
          @type = 'REG_SZ' ,
          @value = 'C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQL\Backup'
    If we run this command again we can see that this has changed:
    DECLARE  @BackupDirectory  VARCHAR ( 100 )
    EXEC  master.. xp_regread  @rootkey = 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE' ,
       @key = 'SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.2\MSSQLServer' ,
       @value_name = 'BackupDirectory' ,
       @BackupDirectory = @BackupDirectory  OUTPUT
    SELECT  @BackupDirectory
    To determine where SQL Server is installed you can right click on the server name, select Properties.  The root directory as highlighted below will show you the corresponding install name for the instance such as "MSSQL2" highlighted below, so you know which registry entry needs to be changed.

  • How to Change the order or location of pages within Chapters

    I am using the iBook Author very often. Right now I'm confronted with the problem, that I want to change the sequence of Pages WITHIN Chapters.
    Furthemore, and even a greater problem, when writing books, it can happen, that you have to change the sequence a bit.
    Let's say you have a book with 10 Chapters and decide afterwards, to take 2 Chapters to be part of new Section (which is in new Chapter).
    So the questions are:
    1) how can I re-order Pages within Chapters
    2) how can I re-order Pages into other Chapters
    3) how can I move Pages from one Chapter into a new Section
    ... hope someone has the solution

    >Furthemore, and even a greater problem, when writing books, it can happen, that you have to change the sequence a bit.
    I'd like to caution your that such non-liner editing can be a quick way to corrupt a book, so try to resist doing that as much as possible.
    So the questions are:
    1) how can I re-order Pages within Chapters
    2) how can I re-order Pages into other Chapters
    3) how can I move Pages from one Chapter into a new Section
    You can only copy/paste content from one page's content into another in those examples, either by replacing existing content, or by inserting a blank page in the new target location and then deleting the source page when done.

  • How to find the iphone backups?

    Where does itunes store backups from my iphone?  I want to make an extra copy somewhere else incase my computer should crash.
    Im using windows.
    I read somewhere that they are stored in c:\users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
    Is that accurate?  All thats there is a couple of folders with ridiculously long names like 5e696f1ad14e411680c85415db7d8e6b8ab348273 and inside there are a bunch of small files with similar garbage names.  Are these the backups?  I thought the backup was a single file like an .ispw file or something?
    Can somebody confirm?
    If I want to take this backup and make a copy of it and then use it again (say my computer crashes or I get a new one or whatever) how do I go about it?
    Thanks.

    Your backups are stored here:
    iTunes places the backup files in the following places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    Windows Vista and Windows 7: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    It is an SQLite data base. If you want to copy your iPhone backup, copy the entire folder. Read more here:

  • How to change the Search Index location in SP 2013?

    Hi all,
    Now i am facing one problem with my client server. The default search index location C: disk memory is full now. So i want to change the Index Location to another Drive like D:
    i tried some PowerShell comlets nothing is working. 
    Could you pl help me on this. Any help would be really appreciated.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Kannan K

    You will need to do it in PowerShell.  In general you can't change the Index location after its setup.  But you can create a new Index on the same server with the new location.  Then remove the old Index.  You have to do it with two passes
    since you can't remove the existing Index until the new one is in place and synchronized.  Take a look at the following Blog:
