crashplan is free for local backup i think for unlimited offsite its like 8$ month havent used it in over a year but i did like it when i did use it

FreeFileSync does what it says on the tin

Backup my pc files because my hard drive is dieing.

Free file sync will back it up but why not just move directly by cloning your current drive to a new one if your know it is dying?

Could I use and external hard drive and then when I get a new inturnal drive could I put it on there?

[Firestorm]

Are you implying you want to clone the dying drive to and external drive and use it as main drive?

If so i don't think it is possible to do that on Windows as it doesn't like removable storage

 

My recommendation would be to buy a new hard drive right away as data loss can be catastrophic

No just as a means of storage until I can get another hard drive.

Best thing is definitly just back it up.

FreeFileSync is a good option

Synctoy 2.1 is another
