Is my time machine working?

I do have a time machine,Seagate Portable Drive…..How often should I update it? If I unplug the Seagate to travel, etc…..should I update each time I reconnect it?

Time Machine, if configured correctly, will update automatically every time you plug it in. You should plug it in to your computer as often as you floss your teeth. To check that it’s backing up correctly, plug it in then go to the small clock icon in the right side of the menu bar at the top of your computer screen. The drop down menu should show “last backup…..” If that date is recent you’re good to go.
