BACKING UP AND RETRIEVING FILES

MY CLOUD USER MANUAL
Using WD SmartWare Pro (Windows Only)
WD SmartWare software is an easy-to-use tool that gives you the power to:
Protect your data automatically—Automatic, continuous backup instantly makes a
copy whenever you add or change a file.
Note: Automatic backup protection is continuous as long as both your
My Cloud device and computer are connected to your network. If you
disconnect the device from your network, backup temporarily stops. Once
you reconnect, the WD SmartWare software automatically scans your
computer for new or changed files and resumes backup protection.
See your backup as it happens—Visual backup organizes your content into
categories and shows the progress of your backup.
Retrieve lost files effortlessly—Bring back your valuable data to its original location
whether you have lost all your data or just overwritten an important file.
Take control—Customize your backups.
You can download and install the WD SmartWare software from the WD online Learning
Center at http://mycloud.com/learn .
The installation process gives you the choice of installing standard WD SmartWare or
WD SmartWare Pro. Pro enables you to back up to non-WD drives, otherwise unsupported
WD drives, and the cloud via Dropbox.
Note: WD SmartWare Pro software is a free upgrade, providing you with three licenses
for your household.
My Cloud users will initially download the standard version of WD Smartware, which is then
automatically upgraded to the WD SmartWare Pro version. You can choose the WD
SmartWare standard version if you prefer.
Launching the WD SmartWare Software After Installation

information to quickly guide you through your backup, retrieve, and settings tasks.
