I hate that it's still not possible to set your own storage for backups. Neither WhatsApp nor Android's system backup support anything besides Google Drive.
For apps that don't disallow regular backups (like WhatsApp does), Lineage OS and Calyx support Seedvault, which is a 1:1 alternative to Google Drive, except it saves the backup as an encrypted file.
