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

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Since it’s a work phone they’re responsible for backing it up and managing it. That’s not something you should be doing at all. If they need you to have more than the standard 5G iCloud storage then they can purchase it for your work iCloud account. Don’t backup your work data onto a personal device. If they get sued do you really want to give over your personal computer as evidence? You’re opening yourself to a lot of liability so don’t do that.
Since you’re not going to listen 😂
The short answer is no. Longer answer is use a vm, best answer is use a Mac.
Even though I have a MacBook I don’t use it to backup my iPhone. It’s just not worth it, imo, to spend the time and storage. You can’t even restore it effectively without iCloud either so it kinda defeats the purpose. The only way I could see it being an option to consider is if you have very limited internet access and/or bandwidth.
