Time Machine

I'm trying to set up a Seagate external backup drive.

Do I need to activate Time Machine on my mac and how do I do that?

Reformat the drive Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Plug it in and go to System Preferences (if it doesn't automatically) > Time Machine and select the drive for TM backup. check "Back up automatically"
