WD SMARTWARE SOFTWARE USER MANUAL Table 1. Home Tab Functional Description (Continued) Display Component Description Your computer's content gauge The content gauge for your computer's internal hard drive shows all of your files that are available for a category-type backup against a blue background in six categories where: This file category Includes files with these extensions Documents .doc, .txt, .htm, .html, .ppt, .xls, .xml, and other document extensions Mail .mail, .msg, .pst., and other mail extensions Music .mp3, .wav, .wma, and other music extensions Movies .avi, .mov, .mp4, and other movie extensions Pictures .gif, .jpg, .png, and other picture extensions Other Others that do not belong in the five main categories For a complete list of all included file extensions, search for answer ID 3644 in the WD Knowledge Base at http://support.wdc.com. Note that: • The System category, shown against a dark gray background, includes all of your operating system files that are not available for a category-type backup, including: system files, program files, applications, working files like .tmp and .log files, and any files that are stored in a Temp folder. When you select and run a file-type backup, the name of the System category changes to Excluded and it then includes all of the files that were not included in your file backup. • Because they change so frequently, Outlook .pst files are only backed up once every 24 hours. This exclusion does not apply to other mail application files. • The Retrieved category, also shown against a dark gray background, includes the files that you have retrieved from a prior backup. They, too, are not available for a category-type backup. • Hovering the pointer over a category displays the number of files in the category. (Continued) ABOUT THE WD SMARTWARE SOFTWARE - 7
