I'd remove Seagate's software. It's never been worth the trouble, IMHO.

If you are running macOS 10.6 or later, your system already has built-in
backup software called Time Machine that will automatically back up
everything on the computer to any connected hard drive. The computer
should have prompted you when you first attached that drive, asking if
you would like to use it for Time Machine backups. If you dismissed that
dialog box and still wish to use the drive for Time Machine backups,
connect the drive, then go to System Preferences > Time Machine and set
it up as shown here:
