During the backup
The Backup dialog displays a progress bar and a message indicating the amount
of data that has been backed up, and the Start Backup toggle button changes to Stop Backup for
stopping the backup.
For a category backup:
- The blue background in the content gauge for your computer’s internal hard drive
changes to yellow/amber for all of the files 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.
- 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.
