Hello,

I am new to this sub but fairly technically literate. I make music and also do videography. Right now, I’m looking to start finally backing things up which is way overdue.

Currently, my setup is: Windows 10 OS, 8 TB WD My Book (HDD), 5 TB WD My Passport (HDD)

And I’m looking to buy this drive this Black Friday: 18 TB WD easystore (HDD)

My music files are all on the 8TB, and all my videos/photography are on the 5TB. I have NO backup locations right now, hence my desire to buy the 18TB drive.

On Windows 10, what is the most surefire way to automate the back-up process for both of these drives to write to the 18 TB? Are there common agreed-upon programs that do this? Does the script exist in Windows already? Is it manually Ctrl+C Ctrl+V files to the 18TB based on a reminder on my phone? (mostly kidding on that last one).

Please help this noob out!
