Automatically Backup Files/Folders to External Hard Drive

Can I automatically backup selected PC folders to external hard drive?

"I have many important files stored in 'My Documents' on my Windows 10 PC. To protect these files from unexpected data loss disaster, I want to periodically schedule backup them to the external drive. Is there any tool that allows me to do it automatically?"
