Two widely used methods are Apple's Time Machine, which comes with the OS and/or a clone. Two backups are better that one. You'd reformat it by booting into the Recovery Partition and using Disk Utility/Erase. As to whether or not it is safe, I'll let someone else answer that. I have never seen anything like that.
