In this day and age having a computer with only 1 hard disk is incomprehensibile. You should have bought 2 hard drives and put them in raid 1. At least if one of them goes kaput you still have your system going strong and can later add a new disk and mirror automatically.
In this way there is no need to backup your data on an external hard drive.
