A few years ago I started using Google Drive as a backup for my PC. It worked well, and I was very pleased with it. But thinking about it, I realised that if a virus was to get onto my PC and corrupt my files, to the backup system, this would look like an update!! Meaning that the file would need saving to the backup system... It would be saving a corrupt file. Eventually the older files, the good files would be overwritten, just leaving me with corrupt files on my PC AND in my backup! Since that revelation I only upload files I have recently worked on. In other words I don't let it happen automatically, I upload them as I am working. I can replicate my folder system on Google Drive.

hi below is steps to do it in windows 7, if you are using another Windows version, the difference might not be much, especially if its windows 8,10

1. Go to Settings > System and Security > Backup and Restore (Windows 7).

2. Click "Change settings", select the external hard drive ("Removable Disk") to save a backup, and click "Next".

3. Then click "Let me choose" and "Next" to specify files that you need to back up. Click "Next".

4. Click "Change schedule", set to run the backup task on a schedule by daily, weekly, or monthly, and click "OK".

5. Click "Set settings and run backup".

i will send other methods, once i get them

Another method is below
Step 1. Open Control Panel, select "File History".

Step 2. Click "Select drive" on the File History window.

Step 3. Select your external hard drive "Removable disk" and click "OK" to continue.

Step 4. Click "Advanced Settings", you can set how often to save copies of your files by minutes, hours, or daily.

Prerequisite: Always keep your external hard drive connected to the PC.

External flash drives frequently work through USB connections (though there is such a thing as a wireless external drive, a "local cloud.") IF you want to do this, note that there is a speed advantage to be had if your machine supports USB 3.0 standard.

The speed at which your internal hardware operates is the bottleneck. It doesn't matter if you have a 3.0 or 2.0 USB if you have slow hardware reading and writing.

I use Carbonite. Very reasonable price. Multi-version backup. Accessible from anywhere so acts like a cloud drive.

AB, while it is always true that your internal bus has to be the fastest thing in your system if you are to have any efficiency whatsoever, there IS a difference in speeds between USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 that would affect the rate of this backup.

As it happens, I use both 2.0 and 3.0 depending on the external device to which I am copying for my backups. It IS noticeable.

I backup to a NAS drive on my network.
