Using My Book 3.0TB for backups

I am connecting a My Book 3.0tb USB 3.0 to a PC running Windows 8.1.  First Question:  My music library is located on an external HD and is has been added to the My Music library on the PC.  If I use the WD SmartWare for continuous backups, will the external music library be backed up along with my personal data on C:?

Second Question:  If the answer to the above is no, can I use Smartware to continuously back up C:\ and then back up the external HD to the same My Book using copy and paste?  If yes, do I need to create a separate partition for the external HD folder and how do I go about it.

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

The WD Smartware, will perform the backup to one drive at the time.

You will need to set the backup on the external drive manually. 

Now, keep in mind that the external drive that have your music, shouldn’t be a WD that comes with the Smartware software so you can use it as a backup source.
