Backing up system files

Hello All:

I noticed that when I performed a backup of my system all the files were highlighted except the system files. How does one backup the system files to restore the system should something happen, thanks, Allen.

Hello,

WD backup software does not support backing up system files. You can use a 3rd party software in order to accomplish this.

Hi again:

Any plans on adding that function to the software. It would seem that the software should be able to backup the system as well. Then you will have a complete backup solution in the software, Allen.
