Recommended backup plan, use google drive for file history?
Hi, I'm getting ready for an online/remote job and finally trying to set up an easy and complete back-up process on/for my Windows 10 version 1909 laptop. I have an external hard drive and a google drive account. I'm thinking to use Google Drive for File History - is that feasible? And then use the external drive for system image, as I've read you shouldn't have file history and system image on same drive. I have a recovery flash drive from when I purchased the laptop. I'd like to automate back-ups.
I'm thinking of using SyncBackFree (have never used it). Does it have advantage over using the existing Windows settings?
Is is possible to schedule File History to backup to Google Drive perhaps daily and keep a week's worth of files? I'm not worried about 'versions' - just having the most recent version in case I delete a file by mistake. Can I put system image backup and file history on same external drive? Is there anything else I should be doing or recommendations for other tools? I'm on limited budget - free is better for me!
thanks in advance!
