Hello, welcome to the community.

The WD Elements does not have any backup software to do this, you will need a third party software to perform a backup with this drive.

CAn you or anyone advise of a compatible good third party application to complete this task?

Correction…suggest a third party software

Hello there, I have not tried a third party software to perform a backup you might try to google search something along the lines of “Automatic Backup Software”.
