I need to take this mac in for service so I think it's a good idea to back it up first. I've spent most of the morning trying to figure out how to do this.
I have a seagate drive that I used to back up my PC. It still has about a TByte of free space. So I'd like to use that rather than go out and buy another.
It looks like Time Machine is the preferred backup app. But it doesn't seem to like the Seagate. The Seagate installer provided an NTFS driver, and that seems to be working.
Rather than manually copying a bunch of files over by hand... are there options?
Also, I know Time Machine failed to back up because there was a popup message. But I don't know how to find that popup again or if there's some equivalent of and event viewer thingy on the mac.
