deconstrukt,
It means that by default, i-devices store their backup in the ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/ on the main hard drive. iTunes does not provide a way of changing this backup location like, say, the iTunes music library can be moved around.
So, the instructions in that link are about how to use Terminal to change the location of that backup, so that you can put it on an external drive to save space on a smaller SSD.
With 500, I doubt you'll care, but I had an iPad backup that was 42GB - moving that and my iphone backup to my external drive was wonderful.
