Hi, I need help with my computer backup. First, I want to say that this is not the first backup I do. I back up regularly every week. Now it seems that there is a problem : It seems that the software works properly - the computer recognizes the external disk and the external disk recognize the computer but  clicking on the backup button does not start the backup. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?

Thank you

Hi, do you have the WD Smartware latest version? if not I can recommend to go to www.wdc.com and update your software, that may solve the issue.-

Merrykay if you mean the backup button, is located on the backup tab, when you are on the backup area you’ll see a button that says either Run Backup or Start Backup depending on the version of Smartware you have.-

Thanks. Indeed reinstalling the software solved the problem even though the software was updated.
