Hello, I have a new iPad 9th Gen. Can I backup to a memory stick, external drive or my macbook? I don’t want to use the iCloud service.

At present, native iOS/iPadOS backup and restore processes are dependent upon iCloud, or connection to either Windows PC (with iTunes for Windows installed) or a Mac (with iTunes or Finder - as appropriate for the installed version of macOS).
Natively supported methods offer full system backup - consisting of data and device settings.

It is possible, however, to use a third-party App to backup data (not device settings) to a variety of external storage options - including third-party Cloud services, external media devices and network storage. One App that comes readily to mind is FileBrowser Professional by Stratospherix:
