[nfbcs] Ken a blind person use Windows backup? And can someone restore the data while using a screen reader? Or should I use something else?

Good morning the subject line pretty much says what I am trying to 
achieve here. Long story short I just want to back up the windows 
portion of my computer. But I am a little bit nervous about the Windows 
backup utility because I’m wondering if it is going to be usable with 
a screen reader? And then of course should I need to restore the data, 
can I still use a screen reader to do the? If the Microsoft default tool 
isn’t that great to use, then what tool is recommended for this 
purpose. If I do need to use another tool, i.e. software here, what 
package what people recommend?

PS this data needs to go to in an external drive. Can the  be set up for 
any file system? In other words if it required to be either fat 32 or 
NTFS?
