Backing Up WD Live to external hard drive?

thanks for your reply cman548!

yea, i feel this could be a long tedious task! haha!

i have managed to find a couple of threads regarding this and was wondering if anyone can confirm/deny this process:

Have my external drive plugged in and get Mac os to “share” the drive

then using the inbuilt mbl dashboard, create a safepoint, which would then hopefully look for the shared external drive?

would this be a real backup i.e. time-machine like, or just a snapshot of where the drive is etc?

Thanks!
