I’m doing a tidy-up of the MacBook. The application [Disk Inventory] revealed that one of my largest disk-occupying items is MobileSync Backups, which I assume to be from synchronizing iPhone with MacBook. It consists of several roughly equally-sized files. Overall I wonder:
- Is there a way to store the backups somewhere else than the system disk?
- Do the “several roughly equally-sized files” imply I have more than one backup on the disk (in which case I’d like to purge all but the most recent).
