So soon to be new iMac owner and was reading up on Time machine as a way of backing up your system music, photos programs etc in the case of a computer failure.
I am looking to purchase a 1TB model and have a WD 1TB external hard drive, this would work as a backup method right?
I also was wondering do you need to have this external hard drive hooked up to the mac and have it on and constantly running? Or is it possible to hook it up to the machine periodically and do manual backups?
