WD Backup forgets previous backups

I updated WD Discover. In order to do so I had to delete several files. Now WD Backup does not remember my backup configuration and history. Which files should I restore from my recycle bin?

Hi HolyHarp,

Maybe you should try contacting WD’s Technical Support about this.

I submitted a case. It had to be escalated to get an answer that looks like it will work. The WD support team replied as below:

The WD Backup configuration files are located at:

C:\Users\_username_\AppData\Roaming\Western Digital\WD Backup 

If the files are still there and the WD Backup cannot see the previous version, it could be that the config files are corrupted and  a new back up plan need to be created

That folder was empty. I found it in the Recycle Bin and have restored it. I can now Backup my files to My Passport. It works.
