Identifying Files that Fail to Back Up

The WD SmartWare™ software identifies and displays any files that fail to back up during the backup process. When this occurs, a WD SmartWare window displays the following information about each file:

Name. File name.
Size. File size.
Date. The date of the last file update.
Reason. The reason the backup failed, for example, the file may have been in use (open) when you started the backup process, the destination drive may be full, or the file may belong to another user.

To display more information about a file, its size, date, or the reason the backup failed, position the pointer between the column headings at the top of the window and drag to resize the column to the desired length.
