WD MyBook Desktop Storage 4 TB USB 3.0

I have a Windows 8 Desktop computer with 4 external drives attached through a USB 3.0 Hub.  I keep all collected data, documents & Photographs on 2 of the external drives.  I purchased an external WD MyBook 4TB USB 3.0 Drive so I could back-up those 2 external drives.  How do I set up the WD MyBook to back-up those 2 external drives?

Hello,

Unfortunately WD Smartware software does not support backing up drives that include WD Smartware. In order to backup this drives you will have to use a 3rd party software or just copy the content from one drive to another manually.
