I had a problem with my Time Machine backups stopping midway. I discovered from the second WD tech I communicated with that I had to go into the WD Discovery app and change the drive sleep settings. Also, you can only mount two WD drives at a time into the software, so have your other drives unplugged before you launch the Discovery software.
