Windows 10: Cannot backup to external backup drive.

I am trying to use Windows Backup for Windows 10, but it states that files will be backed up to the Cloud. I just bought a new external backup drive, but I don't see an option to back up to this drive. How can I set my laptop to back up automatically to my external backup drive and NOT to the Cloud?

Hard Drive / External Drive + Backups Configuration?

Pickup a 2TB for internal use, use all above drives as external for periodic backup of the 2TB. That way you have the best of both worlds, backup and "speed".

 

Hard Drive / External Drive + Backups Configuration?

Drive configuration is really a personal choice. I prefer RAID-0 for OS & Games, another drive for media, another drive for personal stuff (Docs, pr0n, etc.) and an external for backup.

IMO, Windows 7 has a great backup utility.

 

Free hard drive backup/restore program?

I am looking for a free (freeware) program that will back up and restore a hard drive. I'm looking to clone a few external hard drives. If the program will backup the used space instead of the whole drive this will be awesome! Thanks for any suggestions.
