How can I save my documents to the external hard drive? ( not using Time Machine)
My computer is failing and has allowed me to back-up some photos, but how do I back up all documents?
Thank you so much.

Time Machine or an application like Carbon Copy Cloner should be used to save your files to an external hard drive. Dragging and dropping will take too long especially if you have lots of files to save off. And if your machine is failing as you say, the sooner you do it the better. Carbon Copy Cloner
