Backing Up a My Book Live Duo Drive With Safepoints
With the included safepoint technology, you can automatically make a second copy of your
My Book Live Duo data to store on another My Book Live Duo device, an available network
share, or a USB drive. Now you have double-safe protection for all your media and ultimate
peace of mind.
What is a Safepoint?
A safepoint is a snapshot of your My Book Live Duo device at a specific time stored on a
compatible network-attached device such as another My Book Live Duo device. The
safepoint is a collection of all of the data on your drive, including users, shares, WD
SmartWare, Apple Time Machine, or Windows 8/Windows 7/Vista backups, and associated
device configuration details. In the unlikely event that your My Book Live Duo device fails,
you can completely recover your data from a safepoint to a factory-fresh My Book Live Duo
device.
Creating a Safepoint
To create a safepoint for your My Book Live Duo device:
1. Click Safepoints on the navigation pane.
2. Click Safepoint.
