iPhone Backup

I am trying to backup my phone to my computer with iTunes, I had given it 55GB and it still says I don’t have enough storage. How do you fix this?

iTunes backup bigger than iPhone storage I did a backup of my iPhone 13 Pro 256GB to my PC and then deleted my phone. When I was trying to restaure the phone from the backup it appears a message saying the iPhone doesn’t have enough storage to put the backup in there. How is it possible? How can I have a backup of 274 GB when my phone had 256GB of storage and it wasn’t even full. Does someone, please, have a solution? I don’t want to loose everything I had in my iPhone. Thank you

if you are running low on space on the path it stores the backups on

then mount another volume as that dir

how you go about doing so depend on the operating system your computer run

this is the location of where it keep the backup files
