Backing Up Computers on a 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 WD ShareSpace Installation 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
WD ShareSpace and forget it; every time you save a change 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 WD
ShareSpace connected to your local area network and powered on before you
install WD Anywhere Backup software. This will ensure that the WD Anywhere
Backup recognizes your WD ShareSpace and will install as the full software
version instead of the 30 Day trial version.
•
Windows laptop users: When you are travelling, your laptop files will not be
backed up. If you want to have your files automatically backed up upon
reconnection with your home network, you must set your password and username
on your laptop and your WD ShareSpace to be the same. Otherwise, on a
Windows system, you will have to log in to your WD ShareSpace every time you
reconnect to your home network before WD Anywhere Backup will begin to back
up your files.
