My current OS is Tiger and I bought the Mac Box Set to upgrade to Snow Leopard. But before I do that I want to back up my current data, so I bought a 1TB WD My Book Essential external HD. I have partitioned it for Mac OS and now am trying to figure out how to do a backup. The drive comes with its own software called WD SmartWare which includes a backup utility but I wanted to ask if there is something already on my iMac that I should be using instead. The idea is make an image of my current hard drive just in case something goes wrong with the OS upgrade so that I do not lose my data, pictures etc. In reading the WD SmartWare docs, it does a 'continuous' update / backup when files are added/modified, etc.
