Automatic back up from laptop to My Passport Ultra. How do I do this?

When I bought a WD My Passport Ultra I didn’t understand how to set it to automatically back up any new files/documents/photos from my laptop. I have had to do this ‘manually’ each time I plug the Passport in and may have missed things. Can anyone help me set the Passport to do this automatically in the future? Please use ‘easy’ to understand non computer person language!!

Hello,

It will depend on the software/application that you are going to use to setup the backup.

If you are going to user the WD Smartware, see if the following links helps:
