Hey everyone! I'm trying to create a junction link to my NAS so that my iTunes backups aren't stored on my C drive. I used the command 'cmd /c mklink /J "C:UsersUserAppleMobileSyncBackup" "\10.0.0.172Depot[iTunes]Backups"', but it seems to just hang there. I've managed to do this before, but I'm drawing a blank on the proper steps. Any guidance would be much appreciated!

Just a heads up, junctions can be quite dated and come with restrictions. Instead of using those, I’d recommend using symlinks. They might seem a bit risky since they can have trust issues with the target path, but if you're set on it, be cautious. Also, check your iTunes settings to see if you can change the backup location instead!
Honestly, it's easier to use PowerShell for this kind of task. If you stick to batch commands, you might keep running into issues. PowerShell offers more flexibility.
You might want to try using a symbolic link instead of a junction. Swap the '/J' with '/D' in your command. If you're using PowerShell, you can create it with 'New-Item -Path c:usersAppleMobileSyncBackup -Value \10.0.0.172DepotiTunesBackups -ItemType SymbolicLink'. Here's a quick video on the different types of links if you need more info: [link](https://youtu.be/7Rbw953DXg0)
