Hi, folks. I have often had trouble with the error Pending (Desination Not Available) message. My work around was to delete the backup plan and start over. This morning, one of my computers showed this message and the others did not. So I thought I would compare some files from one computer to another and found a change that worked. Here’s what I did:
- Quit WD Anywhere Backup - right click on the icon in the task bar
- Go to C:/Users//AppData/Roaming/WD/WDAnywhereBackup/instances (you might need to view hidden folders/files in folder options)
- In there you’ll find the folders containing each of your backup plans
- Open the XML document in there using an XML editor (Notepad worked for me)
- You’ll see a line in there saying “” (where My WD_Backup is the name of your back up plan
- Just before my back up plan name, I added this - \Backup\Public\ (Backup is the name of my WD Drive)
- Save the XML
- Restart WD Anywhere Backup and it should be working again
Basically, the system knew the name of the back up plan, but it didn’t know where to find it. I hope this helps.
