There is provision for backups to different locations in the program configuration/backups tab

Instructions in the user guide

Backup to thumb drive is not a good idea, although you can if you must, its better to have second backup to the cloud

Backup is done on program closure to two user specified destinations plus a historic backup regardless of user intervention
