Hello, I just bought an iMac a couple of months ago. Since then I've been using Carbonite to back up my files. In short, it doesn't back up all files so I am going to use Super Duper. Please bear with me while I explain my confusion 
I have an 1TB Verbatim external USB drive that I use with Time Machine but am unsure about how I partitioned it or when (with the old G-4 or with this new intel iMac.
The information says it is Mac OS Extended Journaled. Super Duper recommends using a Guid format. I do not know if it is Guid or not so I downloaded iPartition to re-partition it but do not see a format option for Guid.
I need to back up my files so I can re-install the OS from the disk because I stoopit-lee drug over an application file instead of re-installing when setting up my new computer. Needless to say it was corrupted.
I am running:
OS 10.6.6
3.06 GHZ
Intel core 2 duo
4G 1067 MHz DDR3
