One additional bit of advice.
USB hard drives are getting so cheap I would recommend getting one at least twice the size of your main hard drive. I use Acronis backup software and it makes a complete backup, a data only backup and a running change backup. The complete and data backups are done at scheduled intervals and I found that you need to remember to delete older backups to make room for new ones or the new ones will not be created. The larger the backup drive the more backups that can be stored before you need to delete older ones.
