I use File history in Windows 10 to back up my files, but knowing the 
future I was interesting in how to back up to a external drive in Window 
11.  This is what I found

"Method 1: File History

This method is suitable for backing up your files, libraries, and 
settings. It doesn't create a full system image, but it's a good option 
for regular file backups.

1. Connect your external hard drive.
2. Open Settings: Press Windows key + I.
3. Go to System > Storage > Advanced storage settings > Backup options.
4. Click "Add a drive" under "Back up with File History" and select your 
external drive.
5. Turn on "Automatically back up my files." "
