I need more space at my HD and do not use iCloud in order to do a back up. I soul like to change the back up adress in I Tunes redirecting it to an external HD. Is it possible?

If you backup your iPhone using iTunes, you can move your entire iTunes library to an external drive (I wouldn't recommend a Time Capsule - just a plain old external drive large enough for your needs will do).

Clinton's post won't help you, as the iPhone backup is not stored in your iTunes library. Follow these directions:
1) Make sure that iTunes is closed.
2) Move the folder called ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/ to the drive you want to back up to. For instance, an external drive.
3) Launch Terminal Applications/Utilities/Terminal and type in the following command line:
ln -s /Volumes/DriveName/Backup/ ~/Library/Application\ Support/MobileSync/Backup
In the above example, ‘DriveName’ would be the name of the new backup location.
Can I do a iPhone back up in "time capsule" or an external HD?
