I want to backup my iPhone to my desktop computer. I want to back it up to an external drive and not my local drive. How do I change the location of where my iPhone backup can be located?
iPhone XS Max, iOS 13
It's a backup of my iPhone not iTunes. I just spoke with Apple and this can't be done. It has to backup to a local drive then you can move it. It's a joke you can't select a drive like in Time Machine. I put in a features request, hopefully this will be worked on. Thanks for the response.

What you'll need
In order to change your computer's default iTunes backup location, the following is necessary:

I thought iTunes was used to back it up except on later OS versions?
So a symbolic link doesn't work?
Is it saving it to Documents folder?
