"USB Backups" app is gone

After years of “no updates available”, OS5 showed up. My USB backups had been failing very consistently, so I did the update.

Now the USB Backups app isn’t available. I’ve spent an hour looking for a post and Googling. The upgrade warned that it was an optional app, but said nothing about it being gone.

Can someone please provide a link or explain where to find it?

Amazing that WD doesn’t have that anywhere, and if they do then it’s amazing the Google couldn’t find it. Thanks.
