I'm in the IT Security field and we get hit with at least 10 incidents of this each month. The best thing to do is have an offline backup process. I plug my external drive in to the PC only when i know I have additional files to back-up. I also use BackBlaze as my cloud based back-up provider. This is my just in case plan that my external drive doesn't work, burns up, or gets chucked across the room in frustration.
The only thing I do is back up my external drive, never any OS files or any temp downloaded internet files. If i get infected with anything I do not want that to take over my external drive.
