WD SmartWare

Your data is not just data, it's your family photos, your financial documents, your music - your life. You know you should back it up, but many of you don't. We understand. We've talked to lots of people and we've heard the reasons why people don't back up - there's no time; it's a pain; their data's not organized; they don't know how. Using what we've learned, we developed easy, automatic backup software we hope you'll really use because we understand the importance of your data.

It Finds Your Data.

• WD SmartWare automatically scans your computer and finds all of your personal files, including e-mail.
• Select the files and folders that you want backed up or back up your files by category. It's up to you.
• The backup gauges show how much information you have to be backed up in each category. You can even mouse over a category to see afile count.
• Simply click "Start Backup" and WD SmartWare will automatically start backing up your files.
• As your backup is running the category gauges will change color showing you the backup as it happens.
