WD SmartWare Software Overview

WD SmartWare software is an easy-to-use tool that gives you the power to:
• Secure your drive—In drive settings, create a password to protect your encrypted
drive from unauthorized access or data theft.
• Protect your data automatically—Automatic, continuous backup instantly makes
a copy whenever you add or change a file.
Note: Automatic backup protection is continuous for as long as your My Book
drive is connected to your computer. Then, whenever you disconnect and
reconnect the drive to your computer, the WD SmartWare software
rescans your computer for new or changed files and resumes automatic,
continuous backup as before.
• See your backup as it happens—Seeing is believing. Visual backup organizes and
displays your content into categories and shows the progress of your backup.
• Retrieve lost files effortlessly—Bring back your valuable data to its original
location whether you've lost all your data or just overwritten an important file.
