Retrieving Backups

• Copy them to a special retrieve folder.
Retrieval is generally a four-step process:
1. On the Home screen, choose the drive to retrieve content from.
2. Choose whether to retrieve content to a special retrieval folder or to the original location.
3. Choose what content to retrieve: files, folders, or everything.
4. Retrieve the content.
Important: The appearance of a Caution message, indicating that your drive is full,
means that there is not enough free space on the drive to complete the
backup.

storage and:

Click the Help tab.
b. Click the WD Store link to view the Western Digital Online Store website.
c. Click External Hard Drives and select the best drive to suit your future
requirements.
