I am running WD SmartWare Pro version 2.10.4 on Windows 8.1. Recently I discovered (to my horror) that if I remove the My-Passort-Ultra 1TB portable drive and connect it to my WIndows/XP system, the drive is not password locked (even though it is supposed to be automatically locked upon removal)…
In order to try and resolve this problem I went back, opened WD-Security and unchecked the “Enable auto unlock for user” option. Subsequently, after removing the drive and re-connecting it, the drive was properly password locked.
Unfortunately, I have now discovered that since this time the SmartWare has missed the scheduled daily file backups which are set. I don’t know whether these issues are connected, so my question now is, what causes a scheduled backup to be missed and how can this be avoided? Also, is anyone else aware of the lock/unlock problem which I encountered?
