Backing up all users

First time posting, so apologies that I did not exhaustively search the forums first.

I have backed up my PC onto a My Passport drive and when I review the backup, all I can find are folders and files under user Marc… yet there are three other user accounts on this PC. How do I ensure everyone’s files are backed up? This PC is on its last legs and I will be replacing it soon (if it doesn’t die first), but I want to make sure I have everyone’s files, not just mine.

Thanks very much for your advice and counsel.

Hello and welcome to the WD community.

You will need to log in on the computer with each user and create a new backup for every user.
