Introduction
My Book World Edition in Your Network—The Basics
Congratulations on purchasing a My Book World Edition remote access storage
system. Designed for home users, creative professionals, workgroups, small offices,
and anyone looking for shared storage, WD’s My Book World Edition offers a
surprisingly simple and secure way to access and share data, photos, and music at
home, in the office, and anywhere in the world—even when your local computer is
turned off.
*
Follow the steps in this manual to set up centralized storage and make it available to
local and remote computers.
Note: The dual-drive My Book World Edition II is preformatted for maximum capacity
as a large, spanned single volume. To change the format to RAID 1 for additional
protection, see “Drive Management” on page 42. If WD Anywhere Access is not
currently installed, you must first run the Initial Setup wizard (see “Appendix A -
Shared Storage Manager” on page 25) before you can access Drive Management.
Once configuration is complete, you can start saving files to the device, or return to
the beginning of this manual for instructions on setting up the device with
