I have a pc with an SSD for OS/games/programs and a 2TB HDD for documents/media. I have a 4TB HDD in an external enclosure which I want to use as backup for the 2TB HDD. I intend to manually make a backup once per month.

I'm lost on what free software to use to keep a good backup. Any recommendations on what I should use?

I'm also confused on the difference between image backups and loose files. Is there any benefit to an image backup if the drive I want to backup doesn't have my OS on it?
