Windows to Mac

WD External Drives External Drives for Mac

Hello.

I have two 2TB Passport Ultra external hard drives. I had them set up to back up my files from my Windows computer, and it worked great. I recently bought a Mac computer, however, and want to be able to back up my documents and pictures from this computer as well, without deleting the files already on there. It won’t let me even copy and paste a new file on to it, however, let alone automatically back things up. How can I set this up without losing my old files?

Thanks so much!

Hi there,

what happens here is that Windows user one type of file system and mac user a different one on which you can read from a Mac but not write. try to see if there is a way that your mac can read and write on a windows file system and then you can back both computers up without deleting data. Lets see is another user can share some information or tips on this matter.
