Backup source cannot be found

Since upgrading to 2.4.12 I keep getting these messages “Backup source cannot be found.  Please verify your backup plan” even though the software is showing all the drives on my machine and allowing me to set up backup plans for them.  I get these messages on startup and when I modify the backup plan and click either update or enable backup.   As a consequence I have one drive that isn’t backing up and one that went for over a month witthout a backup and then suddenly came back to life again.

Hello,

I recommend you uninstall and reinstall WD Smartware latest version.
