Do you really think I can afford the space to make multiple backups of my phone onto my laptop? No, and it should be obvious that very few people will ever want that. I have a 500 GB SSD in my laptop, and a 64 GB iPhone. It will simply backup to your local hard drive. First, even if you set your backup location as an external drive, it will ignore this anytime it runs and the backup drive is not plugged in. It would be awesome if they fixed two HUGE problems.
