How the Backup Function Works
The WD Backup software is a scheduled backup application that automatically backs up the
files that you select on the schedule that you specify.
When you create a backup plan, you specify the backup:
Target—the external storage device where you will copy your files for backup protection.
▪
The backup target can be any supported:
Backing Up Files
External storage drive
◦
Cloud service account
◦
Source—the computer files and folders that you want to copy to the backup target for
▪
backup protection. The backup source can be any:
Internal hard drive or hard drive partition
◦
External storage drive
◦
Supported cloud service account
◦
Schedule—the time of day, day of week, and month that you want to run the backup.
▪
When you click Start Backup after creating a backup plan, the WD Backup software copies
all of the specified backup source files and folders to the specified backup target. Then, on
the schedule you specified, the WD Backup software automatically backs up any:
New file that was created in or copied to a backup-protected device or folder
▪
Existing backup-protected file that was changed
▪
This protection is automatic—the WD Backup software does it for you without any action on
your part. Just leave the backup source and target devices connected to your computer.
Note:
Excluded Files—The WD Backup software will not back up its own backup plan or files that
have specific:
Whenever you disconnect and reconnect a backup target or source device, the
WD Backup software rescans the backup source device for new or changed files
and resumes automatic backup protection according to the schedule.
