How do you store your patterns/info??

I found I was printing out patterns for everything I thought was pretty until I realized that I was destroying entire forests for things I would probably never get to do. However, I wanted to save them, just in case so I was just saving to my computer. About a year and a half ago my hard drive crashed. I now back up everything on the computer regularly. The patterns I might find again, but I couldn't replace the photos. However you do it, back up, back up, back up.

Ok ladies - I am really, really challenged when it comes to the computer. In fact, I have just figured out how to use a printer! lol!
I have 2 of those little memory stick things. How do I download my saved info onto them? How do I get what I want on to them? -that is the part I don't get...
Also, I want to purchase one of those external hard drives, but I have no idea on how to use them...
Can anyone explain how to use these things? or point me in the right direction?
I told you I was challenged...(actually my fibro fog is getting worse & I am having a harder and harder time trying to figure out how to do things...)
