Synology supports exactly that, and I'm sure they're not the only one.

  Full iOS backups directly to local external storage, without another computer in the mix? I’d be very surprised if that were true.

    Here's one example of a third party tool. > Step-by-Step Guide: How to Backup iPhone to Synology NAS https://www.ubackup.com/phone-backup/backup-iphone-to-synology.html https://www.ubackup.com/phone-backup/backup-iphone-to-synolo...

      Did you actually read what you linked, or did you just paste in a random link from a search engine? There are two methods presented: one only backs up the camera roll; the other requires plugging into a computer and manually clicking around, at which point you might as well use the first party backup built into Finder (or iTunes on Windows? Is that still a thing?), no random third party application needed. I also highly doubt their “backup every single content” claim. It’s also a sneaky marketing article for that third party application, following the common SEO practice of giving you a half-ass solution capturing a frequent search term (in this case, “backup iPhone to Synology”), then plug their own questionable thing as the better solution.

      > Preparation. How to set up Synology NAS on PC That’s a guide on how to backup an iPhone to a NAS using a computer. Unsurprisingly, a reasonably capable general-purpose OS supports network file systems in a way transparent to applications, but that doesn’t help people using only an iOS device.
