Thank you for your suggestion and the link. I have seen this option, but I don't have an external drive. Neither do I have a cloud account. Guess I need to acquire one or the other. Thanks again. I appreciate you responding so quickly!
iCloud is not meant as a backup solution. It's a syncing service which allows certain files to stay up-to-date across all your devices. You need either an external drive or a cloud based backup service.
It is not possible to backup without a drive/location to backup to. iCloud is not a backup scheme id is a file synchronization mechanism.
