+Now browse to the disk using the files application and go to other locations and you should see your disk. I then make an appropriate folder to keep things neat and tidy to place the backup files into:
+{{:images:filesforbackup.png?400|}}
+Now in the deja-dup program I click the hamburger menu and select "preferences" and under location change it to the folder I just created, keep backups I choose 1 year, and I select daily for my backup:
+{{:images:deja1.png?400|}}
+Under "folders" tab I normally remove ~Downloads as an excluded folder because I like to backup my downloads, but you can either leave it in or remove it up to you:
+{{:images:deja2.png?400|}}
+You can then close that and choose "create my first backup". Once done (it asks for a password and things like that to encrypt the backup, so enter one), it will backup daily so long as you leave the drive plugged in.
+That it! Now you have a restore point if anything happens to your hardware.
