Hi bolosara,

Use Time Machine: Back up your Mac with Time Machine - Apple Support.

For this you need an external hard drive at least twice the size of your internal hard drive. Anything that Apple sells here is a great choice for an external backup drive: Storage - Mac Accessories - Apple, except the PROMISE systems, DVD drives, Mac Pro upgrades, and USB flash drives.

Cheers,

Jack
