back up

When you plug the external hard drive into a USB port on your computer, the computer will assign it a drive letter.  Then, in your backup program, just use that assigned letter as the destination for the backup.  If you want to copy the returns instead of backing them up,  select the files you want to copy by left-clicking them while holding dwon the control key (or you can select all of them by clicking on the first file and then, while holding down the Shift key, click on the last file).  When all are selected, RIGHT-click to being up the menu and select "copy."  Under "This Computer" or whatever the name of your Windows version's drive listing program, find the drive letter corresponding to your external hard drive, left'click to select it, and then RIGHT click to being up the context menu to select "Paste."

Hope this helps.
