trying to backup second phone to same pc but although it sees the second phone (by name given to it) it only gives option to set up as new phone or backup form the other phone. I fear wiping my wife's phone I pick set up as new phone. Is there somewhere I can get a backup of it done? Thanks.
iPhone 13 Pro
The "Setup as New" option means it will set it up as a new device syncing to that computer -- not that it will erase the device.
When connecting an iPad or iPhone to computer iTunes for the first time, you will get the choice to restore from backup or setup as new; the setup as new choice does nothing to the iPhone or iPad (i.e., it does not erase the device -- however another user here in this forum has noted that if any data was previously synced from another computer to the device, that data will be removed from the device.).
Another option is to backup to iCloud. See: How to back up your iPhone or iPad with iCloud - Apple Support
