Does this drive require the use of its own software to run a back up?

Am I able to use the Windows 7 back-up that's "built" into Windows or another back-up program of my choice instead of using the Seagate back-up software that's supplied with this drive?
Yes, you can use Windows backup software with this drive as well as any other backup program.
