With new computers can itunes make an easy change to allow users to control where backup data is stored, instead of automatically on C drive?
New computers have limited storage on C drives as a safety feature and more storage on D or sometimes even E hard drives. Itunes is basically useless for storing backups of iphones on new computers because of this.
See Relocate iOS device backups. Review the rest of the Make a split library portable user tip for advice on organizing the library on secondary storage. Note that although you can get iTunes to store this data or your D: drive, for example, it will still be checking for free space on the C: drive when it looks to see if there is enough room to complete the backup.

That is alot of work and programming to get a simple switch to happen within itunes?
Why can't Itunes programmers make this an easy fix?
If I can store and change the destination of my media folder in any hard drive destination I want,
why is it so difficult to do the same thing with the mobilebackup file?
Apple is supposed to be a leading technology company,
why do i have to trick one of its flagship programs into doing something it should already be doing?
I'm a fellow user, I can't answer for Apple's choices here. iCloud backup is available as an alternative.
