Getting Started With The Wd Smartware Software - Western Digital WDBABT0010HBK - My Book AV DVR Expander User Manual

Getting Started with the WD SmartWare Software

After you select either Install WD SmartWare, Install Drive Settings, or Retrieve a
backup, the software will guide you through a simple two-step WD SmartWare software
installation process. If a newer version of software is available the system will
automatically alert you. WD highly recommends using the latest version of software,
especially on a new installation.
After the installation is complete, the WD SmartWare software either:
• Guides you through:
-
Backing up your files (see Figure 5 and "Backing Up Your Computer Files" on
page 19)
-
Setting up your drive security (see Figure 6 on page 12 and "Password Pro-
tecting Your Drive" on page 30)
• Displays the Home screen (see Figure 7 on page 12 and "WD SmartWare
Software Overview" on page 13)
Note: The initial Backup and Drive Settings screens only appear one time—the
first time you install the WD SmartWare software on your computer. After
that, launching the software displays the Home screen so you can choose
what you want to do.
