Has anyone managed to backup an iPhone with iTunes and bottle or wine?

Hey everyone!

Sadly, I’m forced to have an iPhone because of work. It’s a good device but I hate the philosophy behind it.

Right now I have a windows 10 vm to run iTunes and backup that phone.

It takes around 30gb on my Surface Go 1 with a 128gb ssd.

If I could use bottles or wine to backup my iPhone, it would save me some space and help me fully get rid of windows.

Sadly, last time I tried none of these worked. I think I managed to install iTunes, but then it crashed and sent me some weird messages.

So has anyone managed to backup an iPhone with these programs?

This is exactly what I use as well. It’s pretty awesome. Backup and restore work like a charm.

This is what I use as well. It is part of the 'libimobiledevice' package, at least on my system.
