Hi @Ava63 

 

Welcome to the HP Forum.

 

What type of local backups are you referring to; data backups or operating system image backups?

 

Data backup are fairly simple to do. Backing up data files requires copying selected files from the PC's fixed drives to the external USB drive

 

OS image backups require partition/disk imaging software. OS image backups are more involved.

 

I do data and OS image backups using external USB drives. I also do data and OS image backups using retired SATA SSDs connected to a USB 3 to SATA SSD adapter.

 

Regards
