USER MANUAL
Getting Started
Thank you for selecting the HP Portable Hard Drive or HP External Hard Drive. These
are large capacity USB 3.0 external hard drives that connect and disconnect easily
from a USB 3.0 or USB 2.0 connector on the front or back of most computers, and
are designed to quickly and easily store and transfer media files such as digital
photos, music, video, and other important files.
The drives not only take advantage of the latest blazing-fast USB 3.0 technology, but
are also fully compatible with USB 2.0 connections for those who have yet to
upgrade their computers to USB 3.0. When connected to a SuperSpeed USB 3.0
port, consumers can transfer data at speeds up to 5 Gb/s. At that rate, a two-hour
HD video will transfer in as little as three minutes. The same two-hour video would
take approximately 13 minutes to transfer on a USB 2.0 port.
These drives come with HP SimpleSave® backup software that is compatible with
most Microsoft® Windows® operating systems.
Compatibility
An available USB port
One of the following operating systems:
- Windows 7
- Windows Vista
- Windows XP
Note: Compatibility may vary depending on user’s hardware configuration and operating system. HP
portable and external drives and software only support Windows.
Important: For highest performance and reliability, it is recommended that
you install the latest updates and service pack (SP). Go to the Start menu
and select Windows Update.

HP SimpleSave Backup Software
Welcome to HP SimpleSave backup software, a utility you can use with your
HP Portable Hard Drive or HP External Hard Drive that makes it easy to protect the
valuable information on your computer.
HP SimpleSave backup software runs directly from your HP drive and does not need
to be installed on your computer.
To run the HP SimpleSave backup software:
1. Connect the drive to your computer and:
IF Autoplay is . . . THEN . . .
Enabled, Click Open Folder to view files . . . on the Autoplay menu:
Disabled, Use Windows Explorer to open the drive listing:
(HP SimpleSave backup software backs up only one external drive at a time.)
2. Double-click the HPSimpleSave.exe file listing to launch the backup software:
3. Agree to the End User License Agreement (EULA) the first time you use
HP SimpleSave by clicking the Accept button.
HP SimpleSave remains on the HP external hard drive and is not installed on your
internal hard drive. This allows you to take HP SimpleSave with you.
If you leave your HP drive plugged in, the HP SimpleSave icon will appear in the
system tray. HP SimpleSave performs an incremental backup every time your
computer is idle for five minutes.
Each time you start HP SimpleSave it automatically checks for a software update. To

USER MANUAL
How to Back Up Your Files
After you open HP SimpleSave, it automatically begins backing up the most
common file types on your computer’s primary hard drive.
To change backup options including file types and locations, see “My Options” on
page 13.
Click Start or wait for the automatic timer to finish counting down to start the
backup process. Press any key to stop the countdown.
Backup Notes
It can take several hours (or more) to back up your computer for the first time. You
should consider performing your first backup at a time when your computer is idle.
Although HP SimpleSave incorporates a mechanism to attempt to save files that
are in use, it is highly recommended that you close all other programs to ensure
that all files are backed up at the earliest opportunity.
HP SimpleSave prepares your backup by first scanning your computer. This may
take a few minutes depending on the amount of content on your computer.
You will be presented with a summary of the files found on your computer grouped
into different content categories. The most common file types on your primary drive
are backed up by default. If you need to add custom file extension to be excluded,
see “My Options” on page 13.
The name of the backup is automatically created based on your computer’s name.
The backup name will appear below the summary of the files found on your
computer.
If you want to make any changes to the file types, folders, or locations to be backed
up, click on Change File Types and Locations on the bottom of the screen. For

planned for backup and how many have completed. The first time you back up your
computer it can take up to several hours (or more).
Click Pause to temporarily halt the backup process if you need to use your
computer for other tasks. Click Resume to restart the backup process. If you need
to permanently stop the backup process, click Cancel.
The following screen displays when the backup process is complete.

USER MANUAL
Sometimes a file cannot be backed up. If this occurs you will be notified to click the
View Report button. The report outlines which files could not be backed up. If you
need help, go to the HP SimpleSave support website at http://hpsupport.wdc.com.
You can unplug your HP drive after your initial backup, however it is recommended
to leave it plugged in so you always have a backup of your computer files. As long as
your HP drive remains plugged into your computer and the HP SimpleSave Monitor
is running, your computer will be backed up automatically each time your computer
remains idle (not used) for five minutes.
If you unplug your HP drive, just plug it back in and run HP SimpleSave by clicking
the HP SimpleSave application icon. The software automatically backs up any
modified files and all new files since your last backup from your computer to your HP
drive.
Backing up Multiple Computers
If you want to back up another computer, simply unplug your HP drive and plug it
into the other computer. Follow the same steps as detailed in “HP SimpleSave
Backup Software” on page 6.
About the HP SimpleSave Monitor
The HP SimpleSave Monitor appears in your system tray after the initial backup is
performed. The HP SimpleSave Monitor continuously watches your computer for
any new or changed files and automatically backs up those files after your computer
is idle (not used) for five minutes. Your HP drive must be left plugged into your
computer for the HP SimpleSave monitor to work.
Before disconnecting your HP drive, exit HP SimpleSave by right-clicking the HP
SimpleSave Monitor, then click Exit.
To launch the HP SimpleSave main application, right-click on the HP SimpleSave
Monitor, then select Launch HP SimpleSave as shown in the image below. To

My Options
HP SimpleSave has several options for backup plan customization. To access the
options page, click My Options in the HP SimpleSave welcome screen.
File Types & Locations
HP SimpleSave automatically backs up the most common file types on your
computer’s primary hard drive by default. You can use the File Types & Locations

Advanced Settings
USER MANUAL
Click Advanced Settings if you want to include or exclude files with certain
extensions from the backup. There are a set of file types that are excluded by default
from being backed up. Those files are excluded by including their extensions in the
"excluded extensions" list.
For example, batch files ("BAT" extension) and log files ("LOG" extension) are
excluded by default. You can include a file type by unchecking the extension for the
file type. For instance, as the example below shows, you can uncheck "*.BAT" and
"*.LOG" to include batch and log files in your backup. You can also go back and
exclude such file types by checking the extension you previously unchecked.
If you have software that uses a file type that you do not want to be backed up, you
can add a custom extension to the excluded extensions list by clicking on the green
"plus sign" ('+') located in the bottom right of the screen. When the "File Extension"
window appears, type the extension of the file type you want to exclude from
backup, then click Save.
Click OK to save your preferences.

Troubleshooting
Drive does not appear on my computer
Try the following solutions in the order listed:
1. Check to see if the drive is on. The power LED on the front (desktop) or back
(portable) of the drive should be lit.
2. Check that the USB cable is securely and properly connected to the drive and
the USB connector on the computer.
3. While the computer is turned on, unplug the USB cable. Wait 10 seconds, and
then reconnect the USB cable.
4. See if the computer is recognizing the USB port you are using by checking in the
Device Manager window. See the documentation that came with your computer
for more information.
A message appears that states I have a high-speed device connected to a low-speed port (Windows XP)
This is normal. Windows XP displays a message that you have connected your USB
3.0 drive to a USB 2.0 or 1.1 port. You will not have the high-speed capabilities that
you would have using a USB 3.0 port. Hi-Speed USB (USB 2.0) supports data
transfer rates up to 480 Mb/s. Connection to a USB 1.1 port transfers data at USB
1.1 speed (up to 1.5 Mb/s).
Data transfer rate seems slow with my USB 3.0 adapter card
The drive operates as fast as the host adapter card allows. If you are having
performance issues, make sure that the USB 3.0 card and/or controller drivers are
the most current available and are installed properly.
I have reformatted my drive and/or need to reinstall HP SimpleSave backup software
You can reinstall HP SimpleSave backup software after downloading it from
http://hpsupport.wdc.com.
Write Cache Enable does not stay enabled
For protection of your data, Write Cache Enable is turned off. For more information,
go to: http://hpsupport.wdc.com.
Administrator privilege for installing software
Depending on your operating system, you may need to be logged on as the
administrator to install software. See the Windows Help files or the documentation
