Getting two sets of backup files using Anywhere Backup?

WD External Drives External Drives for PC

When I use WD Anywhere Backup (V. 4.00.5484) to backup my folder “Mike” (C:\Users\Mike) to my WD MyBook external drive, I end up with two similar backups (taking up twice the amount of disk space.  I get two sets of C_\Users\Mike\etc.   I’m not sure if I am doing something wrong or if there is a glitch in the backup software.

One set is under the heading of _dcm and the other under C_       It looks something like this:

WD_AnywhereBackup
    Memeo
        _store
       C_Mike
            -dcm
                  C_
                       Users
                           Mike
                               **List of all my folders starts here**
                  _temp
                  C_
                       Users
                            Mike
                                 **List of all my folderds starts here**

Thank you for your help. 

Mike

The DCM files contain the same names of the files/folders within your backup but are not copies of your files but instead metadata (data on your backup).  Please see WD KB #2709 in the link below for more information:

Additionally, the current version of WD Anywhere Backup is 4.50.6554 and you can download that from our product registration website.
