iOS/iPadOS devices don’t natively support backup to external storage devices. Natively supported backup methods are to iCloud or to a PC/Mac running iTunes or Finder:
How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Supported methods offer full system backup - consisting of data and device settings.
It is possible, however, to use a third-party App to backup data (not device settings) to a variety of external storage options - including third-party Cloud services and network storage. One App that comes readily to mind is FileBrowser Professional by Stratospherix:

You would be well advised to review the extensive online Manual and help files to determine suitability for your needs.
