Backup target content
gauge After installing the WD SmartWare software—before running your
first backup or copying any files to the device—the backup target
content gauge shows only a small number of files in the Additional
Files category. These are the system files and hidden files that your
computer’s operating system put there when you installed the
device.
After running a backup or copying files to the device, the backup
target content gauge shows:
All of the files that have been backed up in the same categories
as the content gauge for the backup source device (see
“Backup source content gauge” on page 7)
Any other files that you have copied or saved to the device in
