WD My Passport Ultra Data Recovery

I’m pretty clueless when it comes to computer-related issues so I’m hoping for your help!

My Laptop crashed a couple of weeks ago, so I sent it in to get fixed. There was a problem with the harddrive,so I lost all my data. Luckily enough I had done a backup a couple days before the incident on the My Passport Ultra. I have received my laptop and it is working again, but I am not sure how to access all the backup files on My Passport Ultra? If I use the WD Backup App, it says there are no files for recovery, however if I search through My Passport via ‘Copmuter’/like a USB-Stick (as I said, I’m not great with Computer-talk), I can find all my data. Do I simply copy and paste all the files to my computer? Or is there any other way that actully keeps the whole file structure, e.g. saves my ‘Downloads-Backup Files’ in my Download folder etc.

I’m very thankful for any help.

Hello,

If the Wd backup software does not recognize the files for recovery then you can go directly into the drive and copy and paste your files back to the computer.
