Created a symlink but Finder shows it as an Alias When I try to backup my iPhone, iTunes gives me an error, saying that it cannot make a Backup because the backup is damaged or not compatible.
To move the backup folder I have followed the steps as below:


Copy the Backup folder from the original path to the MacintoshHD
Change the name of the original folder (From backup to backup-old) to try to avoid conflicts
Run the command 

ln -s /MacintoshHD/Backup ~/Library/"Application Support"/MobileSync



At the end of the process the Mac creates me a backup alias file (the icon looks like a data file with a little arrow on the corner). By the way, when I hit the "get info" option of the alias file, it shows me that the path is on my SSD?!
Sorry guys, I'm quite new and I'm trying to learn something about the terminal.
Finder always shows symlinks as aliases. Even though they are actually different, Finder does not show the difference, regarding all symlinks as aliases.
