I'm a total noob at this, I'm trying to backup my iPhone on a Windows 10 PC to an external HDD because the SDD internal is too small.

The drive I'm trying to backup to is D Drive.

This following mklink worked in CMD prompt, but have I got it right in order to backup to D drive?

mklink /J "D:\iTunes Backups" "C:\Users\power\Apple\MobileSync\Backup"

Yeah Nah

mklink uses the opposite order of parameters – the link to be created needs to be specified first, its target second. So it most likely should have been this:

mklink /j "C:\Users\power\Apple\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\iTunes Backups"

If you want files to be stored on D:\, then the folder in C:\ should show up as <JUNCTION> in cmd's dir output or a "link" icon in File Explorer, while the folder in D:\ should not. If you see the junction in D:\ then it goes in the wrong direction.
