New to WD, Passport, and SmartWare

I completed the initial full backup run overnight. Do I have to leave the SmartWare window open for real-time differential backups to run while I’m working? 

Hello,

Welcome to the WD Community.

You don’t need to leave the Smartware windows open, it will work updating the backup while you are away from the computer.
