I can’t find anywhere to determine when my last backup was performed. It says it was successful, but when. Can’t find a date.
On the Back Up tab you should see what looks like a clock, click on that and it should should show the last date and time of a backup, missed backups and when the next backup is due if you have them scheduled.

There’s no clock on my backup tab.
I have mine scheduled for twice a week. Below is an image of what I am talking about. It shows my last backup and when the next one is scheduled.
Click on, tap or activate image to enlarge it.
The following information can be found in the User Manual, a link to the Online User Manuals is at the bottom of the SmartWare Help Tab.
When you click Enable Backup, the WD SmartWare software adds a backup
schedule reminder button to the Backup screen:
Clicking the button displays a status dialog that:
Shows the date and time of your next scheduled backup, the last backup that
might have been missed, and the last completed backup
Provides a Backup Now button for bypassing the schedule and running the
backup now

Since I’m using a laptop I don’t leave my backup drive attached all the time. I plug it in when I want to do a backup manually. But when the prompt says “Backup Competed Successfully”, I want to know if that is talking about the present backup or the last one.
