    My Passport Ultra will not back up automatically

    I have a scheduled daily backup. The Ultra will not perform the backup. The only way to back up is manually after unlocking the drive through WD Security. When I am logged on to the PC at the scheduled time of back up, the backup does not occur. When attempting to search for why, there are no good links at the WD site which would point me in the right direction. Tool is pretty useless for trouble free backups.

    I purchased this on September 10th, 2021 to serve as a backup drive for a new laptop. It took me 5 weeks to get around to using it. I was looking to reinstall the Wester Digital backup utilities only to find this product is no longer supported by Western Digital and I was unable to register it for warranty!

    I would have given it 5stars, but the usbc to usba adapter has the usbc recptable fitting loosely. I ended up purchasing a Satechi adapter at works perfectly.

    It comes with a 15” USB C to USB C data/power cable as well as a USB C to USB 3 A adapter. This disk is smaller then the other 2TB drives.

    This device is working very well so far. it is smaller than I expected, but then 4K of core would have filled a phone booth when I was in college. Good buy for the price, I think.

    Had to buy to back up my computer when I had it worked on. I was a waste of money. You should use your own stuff to back up my stuff when I get my computer worked on.

    Very difficult to set up. I had tech support for 2.5 hrs on the phone and they still could not help with the set-up. They had to escalate this issue to another Tech support person which I never was connected to. I was placed on hold for 45 minutes to be connected which never happened.
