I'm looking for a way to automate backing up certain files on my computer. I thought about scripting a batch file but that's too much effort as many lie in different places.

Certain files of what?
There are ways to copy all files that follow a certain pattern in the name/extension, if they share nothing in common or are in the same folder all you can do is copy them manually on another drive and go from there

Such as excel files, word documents, .txt etc.
And as I said I'm looking for a way to automate this process

for /R c:\source %%f in (*.xml) do copy %%f x:\destination\
-c:\source is the parent directory that hopefully contains all the files you want to copy somewhere in the subdirectories
-(*.xml) is the excel file extension, substitute with .txt for text files, .webm for webms ecc ecc
-x:\destination\ is where you want to copy all that shit
If you want multiple files in one go just paste them of several lines with one extension per line copied and slap that shit in a .bat file
