It appears that in SmartWare Pro (v 2.3.0), Home tab, the available targets appear on the right side under heading Backup Target. User may click on a target to attempt to designate a target choice.
However for me, SW is still backing to two different drives, despite my preference. Running SW Pro on Win7/64, I have a new MyCloud 3TB (on Ethernet to router) and an older Seagate FreeAgent Desk (1 TB) on USB connection to the HP Win7 tower. I want to keep the FreeAgent exclusively for personal storage, not backup. (Ear)Regardless, SW Pro still places some backup files on the FreeAgent, and I have no control over which files are placed on which target drive.
In SW Pro, Settings Tab, I found no relief on “Set Up Software” or “Set Up Drive” (links to WD MyCloud Dashboard).
For simplicity in disaster recovery, I would much prefer to have all backup on one drive, of course.
How can I remove or delete target device from SmartWare Pro? Would it help me to somehow revert to Smartware?
I checked my settings and found that my SW’s Home tab showed the ‘WD My Cloud’ in blue, as I wished, and the drop-down selector below indicated ‘SmartWare.’ My six selector options were FamStuff, GStuff, JStuff (as I had set for personal storage, streaming, etc.), Public, SmartWare, & TimeMachineBackup.
I had chosen SW as it seemed appropriate for backups, and yes, I had read all that I could find relevant in the Help tab and the User Manual, without finding any specific guidance on those selector choices. Would selection of ‘Public’ give me behavior I want? I thought ‘Public’ was for pictures and streaming media. I had avoided TimeMachineBackup as I figured it was mainly for my wife’s MacBook. If you can direct to more specific guidance, that would be a huge help.
For now, checking Home tab status, I see that there are 251 GB of backup on my FreeAgent and none on the MyCloud, exactly opposite to my wishes.
