I can confirm that when you backup files, then delete them from the source PC, they WILL remain on the WD drive as previously stated here by the WD staff member. (If I am wrong about this I would hope someone more experienced with WD would please comment and correct this thinking) My answer is a bit speculative but I hope that helps. I created a folder called: “Copied FIles Date” and that is where I’ll place my files that I dont wish to automatically synch… To do this - I think you simply copy and paste the files (from windows explorer or my computer) and save them to a dedicated folder on your wd drive. Some of us (me for example), may prefer the simplicity of just copying our files to an external drive (a static capture of our data at any point in time), that will not be deleted or changed when we remove it from our original source. You dont want this to happen - perhaps for some or all of your files.

Using the WD Smartware software - to create a “back-up” (which it seems to technically mean a copy of your files that will be synchronized with the original source files) will as you say result in additions and deletions to your ‘back-up’ copy. Just bought a wd today to aggregate and protext other drives with files. Scooby42 - not sure if you solved this or not -but i think I just figured out the answer ot your question. If I had wanted my files completely deleted, I wouldnt have purchased a My Passport. Please explain to me how I can delete files on my computer without the Passport deleting those same files in the back up I asked it to create for me. The only way to create space on my computer harddrive is to delete those files… The whole point of making this back up was that it would SAVE my computer files so I could create space on my computer. I expect my backed up computer files on my Passport to be safe from deletion. This defeats the purpose of having a backup. So why is it that when I delete a file on my computer, the same backed up file on my passport is also deleted. My plan is to create space on my computer so I can relax knowing that I have a backup of everything on my computer prior to deleting files on my computer. I also did this because I need extra hard drive space on my computer. I did this because I want to have a copy of all my files that exist on my computer. If it's a large application you'd like to uninstall, follow these steps.Easy question, presumably: I have backed up my computer to My Passport successfully.
