I want to store my phones backup on my hard-drive because my cheap ass got a 120gb ssd and its almost full. I can't find/ itunes doesn't even have a setting for a different drive and i thought some of you guys might know how to do it without some weird ass program called "copytrans shelbee" or command prompt.

-Thanks

The iTunes back-ups are stored in the appdata folder, and the location of that folder is stored in Windows' path variables. I'm pretty sure you can't just modify the path where the back-ups are stored, so you'd have to move the entire appdata folder over to the harddisk. This is not recommended, however. I guess you'll just need to make more space or get a bigger drive.
