REFORMATTING WD PASSPORT SOFTWARE THAT WILL

I copy and pasted my user folders and apps folder. Before that I backed up everything to two different external drives that I have. The problem I'm trying to figure out is this - A few months ago, my HD was replaced. I have to send my MB to Apple and they will wipe the HD. If that's true, I need to copy my previous back up onto my HD, reformat the Passport, copy the old backup on to the passport and then do the back up.Buy WD 5TB My Passport for Mac Portable External Hard Drive HDD, USB-C and USB-A Compatible, Blue - WDBA2F0050BBL-WESN: Electronics - Amazon.com FREE DELIVERY possible on eligible purchasesI'm looking to use something like SuperDuper to update my external back ups.

Which is an extra pain b/c I have to do it twice ( I want to have 2 back ups)I understand the merge, MHC, but actually I think my question about the erasing data has possibly not been answered yet, just mentioned in passing. Right now I'm doing it one folder at a time and hand selecting what is new, then copy/paste on the external drive. WD Discovery is a tray application a small icon appears in the Windows system tray in the lower right-hand corner of MB Harddrive - Folder 'clients' with files H,I,J,K,L,M,NExternal drive - Folder 'clients' with files A,B,C,D,E,F,GHow do I add my new files from the HD to a folder with the same name on the external drive without replacing the whole folder and losing my other doc's?I really hope that makes sense b/c this is making me crazy.

Reformatting Wd Passport Software That Will

ITunes I had to hand copy/paste the data back in. When I put them back on the new HD, I copied/pasted them back and them by hand resintalled all the user preferences for each of the necessary apps, like FF so my bookmarks were there. And I use the 500g desktop one for my husbands PC back up.So is there any software that will allow me to back up my files and put them in a sensibly named folder (with a date,etc)?What's the drawback if it's not 'bootable'? The way I did it the first time was copied/pasted my user home folder and my apps folder. For example, I carry my portable around for large files I need to share when I'm working or picking up a lot of picts from a clients. I bought them so I could back up my HD AND have room for other stuff. And the only thing I can use them for is my HD backup? What a waste of money.

I KNOW I have to do that I just don't know WHERE to back up the data prior to reformatting!!!Just when I thought I was pretty computer savvy. That response was of no help to me.
