BACKING UP YOUR COMPUTER FILES – 23
Pausing Backups Until Your Computer is Idle. A large backup can take a lot of time,
and can consume a lot of your system processing resources. Even with the
WD SmartWare software running in the background, a backup can reduce your
computer’s response to other tasks.
Enabling the Backup Speed option directs the WD SmartWare software to pause
backups until your computer is completely idle. This is the default configuration of the

1. On the Software Settings screen (see Figure 11 on page 22), click Backup Speed to

2. Select or clear the Pause backup until computer is idle check box to enable or
disable the Backup Speed option.
