Hi
I have formatted my Passport Ultra drive with exFAT and installed Smartware 1.3.7 for Mac on my Macbook Pro. I can see the drive and read and write files to the Ultra manually but when I open Smartware the Backup, Retrieve and Setup Drive options are not available. This drive does backups using Smartware from my Windows 7 laptop so I do not want to format it using HFS and I definitely don’t want to use Time Machine for backups on my Mac.
I have reinstalled Smartware a number of times. Can you let me know the following:
-
Should Smartware for Mac display these options with no drive attached (ie. give an option for a network or local file share location)
-
Should Smartware for Mac display these options with the Passport Ultra attached seeing as it is visible to the operating system
-
If this is not going to work can you recommend some 3rd party software that will allow me to backup to the exFAT Passport Ultra drive from my Mac.
Thanks
Oli
