USING THE DRIVE WITH A MAC – 60
The WD SmartWare Home Screen
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:
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, working files, and any files
that are stored in a Temp folder.
• The Retrieved category, also shown against a dark gray background, shows the
files that you have retrieved from a prior backup. They, too, are not available for
backup.
• Hovering the pointer over a category displays the number of files in the category.
