How to change iTunes backup location?

[reiichiroh]

Looks like in syncing my iPad, it tries to place the backup of my device in MobileSync\Backup on my C boot drive, which is an SSD without space, even when my iTunes install and iTunes library folder is in my 2 TB D drive.

Is there any way to permanently make iTunes place its backup elsewhere?

It doesn't seem like there's an Apple-supported method to do this according to this link: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4079

Perhaps another poster can formulate a way to accomplish this via Terminal or other means.
