Hi Mitch, There's no wrong way to backup an ubuntu laptop, but there are some questions that are good to answer before jumping into the deep end.
Are you looking to backup everything on your laptop, or just certain files? Also, how often are you going to back up your laptop? Do you want the backup to be automatic? In general there's nothing wrong with just copying files over to the drive like you normally would (copy/paste), but if you are looking to do this on a regular basis, you might want a software program or script that can automate the process. I work with USB backup drives on windows/mac/linux all the time so I can probably find something available for ubuntu that would handle automatic backups, if that is what you are looking for.
