On the When do you want to backup page, you can set the backup job to automatically run on the specified time and days. On the How do you want to backup page, you can choose the backup type and the encryption. On the Filter the backup sources page, you can set include/exclude filters for backup sources. On the What do you want to backup page, add the backup sources. In the Where do you want to save the backup? section, select the USB drive as backup destination. Open Backup4all and select File -> New (Ctrl+N). Now you can run that backup job to store your backups on the USB drive. Click Save to close the Properties window. Select a drive from the Removable drive drop-down list (your drive should show up in there). Go to the Destination and click on the Removable icon. Select the backup job you want to run, press CTRL+P in order to open the Backup Properties window. If your USB drive is working correctly, you can set it as a backup destination for an existing backup job in Backup4all, or create a new one. Test to see if the drive is now recognized by going to File Explorer (a new drive letter should appear). You should see the additional hard drive disk right-click on it, choose New partition, then follow the instructions to format the hard drive. Under Computer Management click Disk Management then check the right-bottom window (scrolling down if necessary). Go to Start -> Control panel -> Administrative tools -> Computer Management. 
If you have just purchased the drive and didn't use it yet, you might have to format it (only if you didn't use it before, since formatting will erase everything from it). Next, you have to make sure the drive is formatted. When it is started a green led should be lighted. Usually the enclosure should have a start button and display the status of the drive using led displays. The first step in backing up to USB with Backup4all is starting the device. On one side FireWire hard drives tend to have increased speed over USB, but on the other side USB ports are more common on computers.
Some external hard drives use also FireWire as a connection port. Given the size of nowadays hard drives, this can be considered a mass storage device for backup purposes.
These portable drives (called enclosures) are composed of devices that connect through USB on one side and to conventional hard drives on the other side.Ī hard drive is installed into the enclosure and then the enclosure is plugged into the computer, thus creating a normal USB backup device. There are external USB hard drives with performance comparable to conventional hard drives.
