can't use mklink

[Rob.S]

I have and iPad i need to backup, and i have an ssd. I tried to use this in cmd running as admin

 

mklink /J "%APPDATA"\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup" "D:\IPAD BACKUP" and it says cannot create a file when it already exists.

 

I tried everything I could, diffferent paths etc. When I use the move command to move the apple computer\mobilesync\backup folder to D:\BACKUPS it says access denied.

 

I am running command prompt as administrator on windows 10

Did you move the Backup folder to D: and rename it to IPAD BACKUP? 

 

mklink can't create a junction in the "%APPDATA"\Apple Computer\MobileSync\  folder called "Backup" if a real folder called "Backup" actually exists there.
