Hi ,
My name is Rathish and I am working with Dell Social Media Team.
You have mentioned in the post that you would like to back up data from your laptop computer.
We would recommend you to get an external hard drive which can help you to back up data automatically .Because there hard drives available which can backup you data in a weekly or daily basis .
Please let us know if you need any further help.
Thanks & Regards,
