Hey, I just got a 5TB WD Ultra HDD to fully backup my Windows 10 PC.

Never used a HDD before and I have a few questions:

  1. Is it possible to do a full backup if I activate this drive's pin lock system?
  2. Whats the simplest free way to do it? I tried through window's interface but its stuck on 0 Bytes for hours..
  3. Is there any way I can plug the HDD once a month for example, and just update the backup? without removing everything and moving it back there?
  4. Is there any way to also backup my whole iphone Photos, Whatsapp chats, Notes and Files to the HDD ? I use iCloud to backup everything but I want to make an extra copy

Thanks Everyone !!!
