Restoring a corrupted file on my computer with the backup from WD

I’m having trouble getting information about how to use my WD for the purpose of retrieving a backed up file from WD to replace the corrupted one. A link to a video or response will be appreciated. Most of Youtube says use an app to do this. I thought WD had its own software to enable this.

@RacinJason

It will help if you say what WD device you own.

How often are your files backed up to your WD device?

In addition to @cat0w’s questions, what did you use to backup originally?

WD does offer Acronis for backups.

The link also has the user manual.

Is that the software you’re referring to?
