I am not sure. When I backup my PC. I just copy and paste everything into a folder and name the folder the present date. Then copy it over to my external HDD.

I have an older Western Digital external HDD.

I have an antique Seagate external drive. I use the the BU program that came with the drive. It allows you to pick which files to backup and to schedule when they occur.
The software that came with your drive is probably similar.
Windows has a backup and restore utility tool.
