Natively supported backup methods are described here:

While you cannot perform a full system backup of an iPhone directly to an iPad, or vice-versa, you will find some third-party file management Apps that can be used to backup data and files to Cloud or other storage devices - including other computers and devices.


Two Apps come readily to mind, the first of which I use myself (using the Pro version) to manage and backup photo and other files to external storage:


File Browser - Document Manager (recommended):

FE File Explorer: File Manager:

Both of the above have the equivalent “Pro” versions. If considering either, you’d be well advised to check which version is more suitable for your needs before purchasing.
