MyBook Live-network backup w/o WD Smartware

I have a MyBook Live HD connected to a wireless router.  I can backup laptops wirelessly using the WD Smartware.  Is there a way to backup using Windows 7 or 8 through the network without using the WD Smartware?

If you do not want to use WD Smartware you can do your own manual backups, just copy and paste or you can use a Third party backup Software.But If the drive is working fine but  you have issues with that third party backup software, WD can’t assist you with it.
