Backing up a Computer to the Drive

Following is a brief overview of using your My Passport Wireless drive as a backup
destination. To back up files, the drive must be connected to the computer physically with a
USB connection.

Using WD SmartWare™ (Windows Only)

WD SmartWare software is an easy-to-use tool that gives you the power to protect your
data automatically with automatic, continuous backup and the ability to retrieve lost files.

Note: Automatic backup protection is continuous as long as your

My Passport Wireless drive is connected to your computer by a USB
connection. If you disconnect the drive from your computer, backup
temporarily stops. Once you reconnect, the WD SmartWare software
automatically scans your computer for new or changed files and resumes
backup protection.

Installing WD SmartWare Software
