    Software

    WD Has Ended Support for Backup Software

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    WD Backup has passed it's end of life cycle regarding software updates. The application won't even open, thus I cannot use WD Software to schedule backups. I opened a support ticket with WD, who guided me to using Windows File History to manually backup this hard drive. Fine, I did this, and had one successful backup. I scheduled File History to backup every hour, but it has not successfully backed up since the initial manual backup. I've tried doing additional manual backups, and they are not successful. I've plugged the HD directly into USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports in both my I/O and into the case USB ports, with no success. Under no reason should a product be sold if the software is past its end of life, and File History, which is rumored to be defunct in the not-too-distant future, should have to be used. The product itself seems to be of great quality, but no software suite to compliment it completely invalidates this product.
