how to backup iphone to an external hard disk directly

How can I backup my 1TB iPhone to a 4TB external hard disk via my 512GB laptop?

When I click backup, my Macbook said it has insufficient storage. That's why I want to back up "directly" to the external hard disk (I have connected my external hard disk to y MacBook)

It is not possible, see Back up iPhone

Back up iPhone – Apple Support (UK)

You may need a 3rd party app.
