Window 10
WD Backup Version 1.9.6731.39035
WD My Book 1230 USB Device 4TB
Two of these My Books are configured into a “Windows Storage Spaces” Two-way mirror arrangement, identified on the computer as “Drive K.”
The computer recognized the drive “K.” Windows File History will back up to Drive K and Drive K will accept copied files and folders. So everything seems normal in Drive K.
However, when I stop Windows File History backup and try to add a backup plan for the WD Backup utility, the My Book “Storage Spaces” drive is displayed by WD Backup, but it does not have the drive letter “K” or any other drive letter attached to it. When I attempt to select the My Book device displayed, WD Backup reports the error “No writable partition found. Please make sure your drive is unlocked.”
I’ve looked through the “Properties” of this Drive K and see no kind of “lock” enabled on the drive.
Any idea how to fix this Windows Storage Space configuration, or the WD Backup Utility so that they will play nice with each other?
Thanks,
Hobo
