You raise an interesting question there. IMHO, there are two reasons for
backups: to restore accidentally or mistakenly deleted files and to deal
with a complete and unexpected hard disc failure. I wonder what would be
the minimum and most efficient hard and software for these? I am not
able to back up to a network and favor an external USB hard disc for my
backup media. It would be interesting to know how best to set up a
semi-automatic or even completely automatic schedule. Opinions on
software would be welcome and speed is also important to me.

Investigate for yourself for the best results as to your particular
wants, needs, etc..

It is amazing how often such replies as "investigate for yourself" arise
when one asks for opinions. I thought I had stated my aims :-)

James:
I honestly don't mean this as a pejorative question, but...

Over the past few weeks or months you've raised this issue/question a number
of times and there have been many detailed responses to your queries bearing
on this issue, including my own. Were none of these helpful to you in
embarking on a course of action that your meet your specific needs?
