Get a Raspberry 4 and attach your USB drive for a small network backup. This affords greater safety and continuous backups. Eventually get another drive for offline backup. For that, set up I recommend Urbackup https://www.urbackup.org/

Urbackup is cross platform, does imaging, include/exclude file backup and data retention policies that are easy to use. You can even restore over the network. Unlike many other backup solutions, files are stored in a format where you can get a hold of your files Manually, if need be.

https://dietpi.com/ dietpi can quickly set up your backup server within a few minutes on most SBC Single Board Computers like the Raspberry Pi.
