Select Add a drive.
Then choose your drive.
Then choose More options

Scroll down to Back up these folders. Click the + icon to add folders. To remove folders, just click on the list.
To remove folders, just click on the list. Then click the Remove button.
Once you choose the folders you wish to back up, you can decide to run a manual backup or to schedule backups. Make sure you have your external drive plugged at the times your backups are scheduled.
You can choose to keep the backups anywhere between 1 week and forever.
If you want to stop using a drive, click on Stop using file.
