TECHNOLOGY: WDSYNC backup always seems to have a new version

v6.2.038

It makes the old sync unusable.

It doesn’t pick up any of the old registration information.

Interested to see what happens next week.

And, you have to drop the browser and the email.

But, it does make a complete encrypted back up.

    Uh, how does one retrieve the files once they are backed up? I can’t find a path anywhere, I find a folder with my site name, but nothing appears to be in it. I can’t find the files, and I need to retrieve a couple of thousand backed-up (I hope they are backed up) photos asap. I have projects I cannot complete with the photos . . .

    These little external drives are pretty, but I’m thus far unimpressed with how they work (or don’t work). Any help would be appreciated.

    I have just downloaded WDSync_v6_3_128.exe and tried to use it. (I had been copying everything I cared about, but it takes so long to recopy picture, music etc. that has NOT changed!) So, I want a reliable tool to copy only what’s changed, right?

    First, it takes FOREVER to configure the dang thing (on a 1.8GHz Pentium IV), as I select most but not all folders on two (logical) drives, all the while it is frozen as it works … no status bar, no nothing. When finally done, with configuration, I proceed to the next step, where all is silent for a long time, then it crashes “Do you want to tell Microsoft?” — then, presumably, we can have TWO firms unconcerned about the problem!)

    I’m puzzled by the poor ergonomics of such products .. as though these give-away products (it came with my WD Passport drive) are assigned to the rawest programming recruits, without experience in interfaces, testing, error handling, or prerformance tuning!

    It’s just crappy. :^((
