If, as I recommend, you elect to get backup software, there are many good choices. I personally use and recommend Macrium Reflect or EaseUS Todo for most home users. Unfortunately, while the drive may be good, you don’t always know the quality of the free software included with it. Many external drives come with backup software of some sort that’s sometimes a good place to start. In addition to a drive, you’ll need a backup program.
Hardware is continually changing, but I’m still pleased with my external USB Maxtor drive. If this isn’t something you want to spend some time learning about - and to be honest, most people don’t - then prepare to spend a little more money for some additional disk space, and get a good dedicated backup program. Do I want to put a lot of thought into this? Consider adding online backups of some sort to the mix, and you’ll be well protected. If you’re not sure, get an external drive, a copy of Macrium Reflect or EaseUS Todo, and configure them to take image backups monthly and incremental backups daily. There are many questions to consider, but most important is selecting a backup strategy that will work for you.
