I have 2 user accounts on my Windows XP machine. My WD My Book Essential shows me the files in one user account but not the other. How do I set up the second user account so it will also be backed up by the My Book? Also, can I set up separate passwords for each user account?

Multiple Windows user accounts

Hello,

You will need to create a new backup for the second account. Basically, is one backup per account.
