The WD SmartWare Home screen displays. MY PASSPORT ELITE USER MANUAL On the Home screen, you can modify the primary drive being categorized with the dropdown selection box under the name of your computer. By selecting a different drive, the system will identify the categories of files on that drive. Then click the Backup or Retrieve tab to either back up from or retrieve files to a location other than your computer's main hard drive. In the Content Gauge for your computer's hard drive, all of your files that are available for backup are shown against a blue background in categories that are based on the following folders on your computer: • Music • Movies • Pictures • Mail • Documents • Other Each category includes all of the files in the represented folder except the Other category, which includes all of the files in all other folders on your computer. Note that: • The System category, shown against a dark gray background, includes all of your operating system files that are not available for backup. Files that are not backed up include system files, program files, applications, and working files. • The Retrieved category, also shown against a dark gray background, shows the files that you have retrieved from a prior backup.
