How do I backup my iPhone to an external hd?
You can't do that directly, sorry.
You can just create a full backup of your iPhone's content to your internal hard disc, then copy/move the entire backup folder (see this support article about that:--> Locate backups of your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch ) to your external hard drive.
