Backing up to external hard drive

Question

So I just bought a 1TB WD Passport external and I run my business from my house. It came with pretty nice backup software, but recently bough NOVABACKUP.. I'm really concerned with the drive failing if I use it to back up a lot.

Am I being overly cautious, or should I have redundant backup for my backups?

What do you do?

Thoughts?

The solution 1 is right.You can do Incremental Backup or Differential Backup.
I used AOMEI Backupper instead of NOVABACKUP.It is only a matter of different personal taste.I think Backupper can compress files better.
Good luck

Solution 1

You can never have too much backup if your data is important to you, so get another hard drive as soon as possible.
