WD Drive Manager is causing ping spikes on LAN connection

Thank you for confirming this. Hopefully WD will look in to this if more people are having the problem. I personally don’t use any feautures of WD Quick View so didn’t notice any changes.

I’m not sure what the exact function of auto-backup was, but i do know some programs that automaticly back up certain folders to your external harddrive (like a mirror). I’m using CrashPlan to back-up my files to the cloud. But it also has the option to backup selected folders to another hard drive. It does encrypt the files so you can’t use them directly. You can only restore the files using CrashPlan. Cloud storage of CrashPlan costs money, but i think the storage to another local hard drive is free. 

This is just something i use, but there most be more software programs that auto-backup certain folders on your internal drive to another local drive.
