The menu screen gives you the option to upgrade.

Why are Western Digital now charging you for a backup solution when WD Backup was free and was the main reason I purchased my Passport drive. If you calculate, how much this will cost over 5 year, it will £139.95, but this is likely to increase, as it currently has a 20% discount.
Western Digital need to tell us why they are charging, as this is likely to reduce the purchase of their products.
