I like these drives because they come with a license to use the WD version of acronis so you can make a great backup image of your system. Lots of storage in a small drive.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Can the WD be used to back up a system image file, for total disk restore?

I am intending to use this external drive not only to backup data and transfer to a different PC, but also to create a system image (probably in different partitions), including OS (registry), apps/programs, data, pictures, etc. The WD earlier answer for transferring files stated that their backup was only for data.
I have used this drive for system backups and system restore.
Download the Acronis disk wizard tool from the WD website.
IT is easy to use and as long as the back drive has more space than the drive you are backing up you should be in good shape.
