Connect My Book, format it if needed, then use backup software like File History (Windows). You can also manually copy files or use sync tools like FreeFileSync to keep it updated.

You can set up My Book as a copy of your existing hard drive by using a disk cloning tool.

Just select your current drive as the source, My Book as the destination, and start the cloning process—it’s that simple!

You can clone your existing hard drive to My Book using software like Macrium Reflect (Windows) or Carbon Copy Cloner (Mac). For a simple file copy, use rsync (Linux/Mac) or Robocopy (Windows). Make sure to format My Book to match your current drive’s file system before cloning! Let me know if you need step-by-step instructions.
