All hard drives are essentially the same, you just need to format it to HFS+ if you plan on using it only for Macs, but if you intend on using it with Windows, too, you need to format it to MSDOS (FAT32).

I would recommend Deja Vu (search for it) for doing backups.
I try to Command+Shift+/ when I can.
