Do you mean USB, then DVD, then hard drive /third/?

And if I set USB first, won't it boot from the external USB drive I
want to back up to?

I wouldn't set USB to first ... if you happen to leave a USB stick in the computer, and it's infected with a virus, that will boot first.

Most modern BIOS's have the ability to select a boot device during POST.

I would suggest setting the hard drive to always boot first.

If you want to boot from a CD or USB, select it during POST.
