Backup program stoped working

Elements 2 TB working OK until a few months ago. Now neither Smartware and WD Backup software recognizes the external drive, which, otherwise seems to be working properly. Is there a software fix?

Click on downloads at the top of the WD Community screen. WD Backup and WD Smartware are listed. Check to see which apply to your drive.

Thanks for your reply Cliff,
Actually, I have downloaded both. Smartware doesn’t work with my
Elements and WD Backup only recognizes Dropbox and not the Elements. I was
hoping that I could find a program that would allow for automatic backups,
like before.
