If the HD is already in a working Mac then nothing else needs to be done.

If you are buying one to add or replace then you probably have to format it for the Mac OS manually. Simply installing it then booting up will automatically bring up the Disk Utility App to start the formatting and partitioning.

How is an external hardrive used as backup computer storage?

You can copy data to an external hard drive to create a backup of files on your computer. The simplest option is to drag and drop from your computer to the external drive so that you have a copy. Backup software such as Apple's Time Machine does that automatically and can also keep track of different versions of a file so that you can undo accidental changes.
