My iPhone Keeps Backing Up in iCloud...

How do I Back Up an iPhone to an External Drive?


I keep selecting "Back Up" in both "Library" & "iTunes"*, and it just keeps backing up in iCloud.

Thanks, but I can't select my external hard drive. It backs up to This Computer. So, is a Time Machine Backup the only workaround to an iPhone Restoration? Basically, at the time of Restoring my iPhone, I would create a Time Machine backup of my Mac right now. In the future, I would restore my Mac to this backup, restore my iPhone from the restoration stored on my Mac, then re-retore my Mac to when I to the backed up just Made.
