How do I set up the backup for 2 computers on 1 WD External Drive?

Hello,

You will need to install the software on both computers and connect the drive every time that you need to do a backup.

Thanks

I used Disk Management to create separate partitionsv (drives) for my desktop and laptop computers. SmartWare lets you select the proper drive for each computer.
