Seagate and Western Digital offer a version of Acronis, which

The WD version at least doesn't demand a WD hard drive, it's happy
with a USB WD disk which I use to store the images, even though my
hard drive isn't WD. It complains initially that it can't see a WD
drive, but gets on with the job when the WD USB disk is plugged in.

That's how it's supposed to work. It should complain when it can't see it's
own brand, and it should stop complaining when it does see it's own brand.
