I am trying to figure out what to use to back up my computer. I currently put information on thumb drives. It seems there are programs that save programs and data and other data only. Any advice for a novice?

I use Western Digital's My Book external backup drive. It's 7 inches tall, x 5 wide, x 2 depth.
Directions on how to use included. It does backups automatically while you are using your computer.

I use Google Drive. That's cloud storage. To use it you need to download Google Backup and Sync.

I use an external hard drive. It's almost 2 terabytes. I use the "File History" app in Windows 10 and I have it set up to backup any changed files every hour. There are other options. It's the easiest method I've ever used. It backs up everything I would want backed up, but you could add more if you chose to.

I have Carbonite, and use Google Drive for my calendar, and photos.
I take my photos with my phone and a copy of. everything also goes to my Verizon cloud account.

I have a LaCie "Rugged" external hard drive. It's really made for portable use, but it fits perfectly in a small space that I have on my desk. I also use the iCloud for backup storage.
I have an iMac. I think LaCie has external hard drives for PCs a well.
