They’re ‘happy’ to announce the removal of features…?

It’s a generic template for posting releases… I see your point however… I’ll talk with management on Monday and see if they want to change it or if it’s better to keep it consistent with our other announcements…

I actually laughed when I read it. :laughing: Figured some may want to know about the update so if they want the keep those features they wouldn’t/shouldn’t update.

Hi,

Is this also the end of life of the basic edition of WD SmartWare in addition to the Pro edition ? I suppose at the benefit of the WD Backup software ?

Will WD Backup be soon offered with My Cloud NAS products for client backup ?

Thanks.
