Recertified My Book

Just bought a Recertified My Book P/N WDBACWOO20HBK-04, S/N WCC4N7RAVJFX. I understand WD SmartWare is now unsupported. What software is recommended for managing this external hard drive.

Question 2: Is there a way to get it to shut down when I turn the PC off instead of it going into Standby?

Hi @chzuck,

Windows Backup, Apple Time Machine or Acronis True Image for Western Digital or an alternate 3rd party backup utility can be used instead.
