BACKING UP FILES
– 48
Some applications and running processes can keep files from being backed up. If
you cannot determine why some of your files were not backed up, try:
Saving and closing all of your open files
Closing all running applications—including your email program and Web browser
If you clicked Disable Backup at step 10, the disable backup confirmation prompt
reminds you that the WD SmartWare software runs your backup job in the
background so you can continue using your computer for other things during the
backup.
To continue, click either:
No to disregard your request and do not disable the backup
Yes to follow through with your request and disable the backup
12.
If you backed up files by category and your computer has more than one internal
hard drive, repeat the backup procedure for each one.
Important:
Appearance of a Caution message indicating that the backup target
device is full means that there is not enough free space on the device to
complete the backup. The best long-term solution would be to relegate
the device to long-term archive storage and:
a.
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.
