Product Manuals
A: The time it takes to back up your files depends on file size. I have 42GB size images from my Sony A7RIII that I back up and it takes longer than word files. I highlight the files and Control or Command C and control or Command V to paste onto the WD Passport. Click on the WD to access them.
