Backing Up Computers on the Network
WD Anywhere Backup Overview
WD Anywhere Backup software is a quick, easy and secure way to back up all the
computers in your network. Your My World Book Edition CD comes with five licenses
for WD Anywhere Backup—each one enabling you to activate a single PC or Mac for
continuous backup. Select the files you want to back up, and then set the My Book
World Edition and forget it; every time you make a change in your files, it’s
automatically backed up.
Important Installation Notes
• Install on Each Computer: You must use the Installation CD to install WD
Anywhere Backup on each computer in your network.
• Connect to the LAN and Power On First: You must have your My World Book
Edition connected to your local area network and powered on before you install
WD Anywhere Backup software. This ensures that the WD Anywhere Backup
recognizes your My World Book Edition and installs as the full software version
instead of the 30 Day trial version.
• Laptop Users: When you are travelling, your laptop files are not being backed
up. Your files be backed up automatically upon reconnection with your home
network.
