Is there a way to back up my iPad, Air 4, to an external drive? I am running Sonoma on a MacBook Pro. I have backed up to iCloud, but I want to have an additional backup... I am in a rural area with a not always reliable internet connection.
iPad Air, 17
You can backup the iPad to the Mac using the Finder, and then move that backup out to the external drive, but you cannot backup the iPad directly to the external drive on its own.
