back up iPhone to an external disk

How would I back up an iPhone 14Pro Max to an external drive. Not onto a Mac OS or to iCloud.

If you create the backup using iTunes/Finder, I believe you can move it to an external disk, or perhaps you're able to change the location of the backup before it's created? It's been a while since I used my computer for backups. I've been using iCloud for years.


I found this user tip that may help. The link should take you to a section that provides instructions for moving the backup location.: Make a split library portable - Apple Community
