Hi,


I don't actively use Apple Devices, Apple Music, or Apple TV because of their highly negative impact on iTunes (limiting it to audiobooks and podcasts). When either of the three apps are installed the device management features, including backup, are also suppressed. Given that the two distinct version of iTunes via a direct download or the Microsoft Store don't share a common backup location I'm pretty sure we can assume that Apple Devices uses a third location to store backups. If you're worried about space remove Apple Devices/Music/TV and stick with iTunes.
