Description
In file mode, the initial/default configuration of the WD SmartWare
software is with none of the files/folders selected for backup. After
selecting the files or folders that you want to back up, clicking:
• Apply Changes creates a custom backup plan using your
recent selections
• Revert clears your recent selections and redisplays the prior
applied configuration
Not shown in Figure 9 on page 25:
For scheduled backups, clicking the button displays a status
dialog that:
• Shows the date and time of your next scheduled backup, the
last backup that might have been missed, and the last
completed backup
• Provides a Backup Now button for bypassing the schedule and
running the backup now
