If you want to backup the entire drive, then use a disk clone utility like Acronis True Image, Paragon Drive Copy, Norton Ghost, Image for Windows, R-Drive Image, ASIS backup etc
Free utilities like HDClone and EaseUs Disk copy are available but the free versions may not support external usb drives
For general backup of specific folders and data try Cobian Backup or Comodo Backup - both are free

Since you have an external spare, you should really look into
getting something like Ghost, a drive image program.
Then once you make the image, and store it on the spare,
when, not if, the time comes when you need to restore the image.
it just takes a matter of around 30 minutes for mine.
Of course, the restored image will be exactly like when you made it, so you might want to keep several images stored
made at different time periods.

Backing up data to another hard drive is not always the best option. If there is a theft or a disaster such as a fire, you would lose your backup as well as your computer.
The best way to backup is online. This has the added bonus of allowing you access to all your backup files from anywhere - as long as you have access to the internet.
This site offers 2GB for free, and you can encrypt it. You can also get unlimited storage for $4.95/month.
