You can run the diags as is, they run off a bootable floppy or CD.
There is really no need to back up your OS and programs, they can be reinstalled. The important things to back up are your data files. Quickest way to back up stuff is to another hard drive, either internal or external. You could of course make a complete image of the drive onto another drive, but that requires software that's not free - unless you use WD's setup software to clone the drive to another one. Cloning will replace anything that's on the other drive with the contents of the original drive.
