Where is the link? How can iPhone backup directly to an external hard drive?
Plug it in to the USB port on the phone. iPhone Pro can transfer at up to 20 Gbps but the non-pro models are much slower. The iPhone camera can also shoot directly to an attached SSD.

You can load the IPhone’s pictures on Linux using the folders namespace and then rsync from the loaded namespace to /local…
I use a usb cable and a Linux laptop to copy to a couple of external hard drives (which I store separately). It’s all manual but not too orrenous although i ought backup more often. The biggest hassle is accessing the new heic format on pretty much everything. Could it all be made into a sd card image for a pi zero perhaps? Even with a web ui accessible over Wi-Fi? A basic cheap sync-cable-appliance that non-techies…

The simples hurdle just being knowledge.
The existence of NAS is probably an unknown unkown to a large part of the population.
Compare that to "there's an app for that" & plug USB.
