“How the heck do you back up a new mac book air without any USB on the machine???: New MacBook Air comes with C connections only. No USB! So how the heck do you hook up an external drive??”

Use this Adapter: USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter - Apple

With this Adapter: You can connect your External Hard Drive using the female USB-A port for the Drive. With the female USB-C port in the adapter, you will still be able to charge your Mac. So, as a result, you will lose no ports.

I use it and it works excellently and as intended.

Just get a USB-C to USB-A adapter. There are bunch on Amazon.

One example:

https://www.amazon.com/Syntech-Adapter-Thunderbolt-Compatible-MacBook/dp/B07CVX3516/ref=redir_mobile_desktop?ie=UTF8&aaxitk=i2T-Rb8DiQbU7sjHG0LwWQ&hsa_cr_id=2577511490401&ref_=sbx_be_s_sparkle_mcd_asin_0

$8.99 for a pack of two adapters.

There are some USB drives that come with USB - C connector cables But they will probably cost more than $70 dollars. Or look on Amazon for This
