During the backup
The initial Backup screen displays a progress bar and a message indicating the amount
of data that has been backed up and:
- For a category backup:
- The blue background in the content gauge for your computer’s hard drive
changes to yellow/amber for all of the categories that have not yet been backed up.
- The gray background in the content gauge for your My Book or My Passport
drive changes to blue for each category as the backup completes.
- For a file backup, the gray background in the content gauge for your My Book or My Passport
drive changes to blue as the backup completes.
You can continue to set up your drive or perform any other functions because the
WD SmartWare™ software backs up your files in the background.
To continue, click either:
- Continue to Settings to continue with the backup and display the initial Drive Settings dialog
- Stop Backup to stop the backup and redisplay the initial Backup dialog
