It is always recommended to backup your mac in case of any errors that may occur with your hard drive over time. Backups are also useful when you are creating a fresh installation of macOS so you can restore your files back to the fresh installation after it is complete
- Connect an external hard drive to you mac through USB, FireWire or Thunderbolt.
- Launch Time Machine on your Mac. If this is the first time, you will be promoted to select a location for your backups. In this case click 'Set Up Time Machine'.
- On Time Machine, click the 'ON' toggle switch on the left, and select your connected hard drive on the menu that appears. Then click the 'Use Disk' option.
- Now Time Machine will show you the time required for the backup to complete
