#WD EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE TIME MACHINE UPGRADE#
Do you mean going to the WD site, finding the upgrade download and clicking on it–or something more involved?ī) a simple edit of an MBWE II script file to prevent MioNet from starting up despite it being marked as inactive (the likely cause of the freezes), documented elsewhere on this board.

I don’t know what you mean “a manual install of the upgrade”.
#WD EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE TIME MACHINE SOFTWARE#
Now, our MBWE II has had intermittent hang problems, but this may have been solved with a) the upgrade of the WD Anywhere Backup software to version (must be done manually, upgrade check fails for no known reason) and
It’s mainly only there in case I have to use Windows software when I’m away and as a backup for my LG which I’m likely selling as I rarely use it. Regarding your answer to c) that the MBWE mirrored RAID hard drive backs up Windows files like a charm:ĭo you mean that it will NOT backing up the Mac files? In other words, is Time Machine the only way to automatically backup Mac files these days? I hardly ever use the Windows partition on my Hack. They should work out of the box as far as I’m concerned. I don’t buy consumer-level products to have to hack them. Your answers to my questions a) & b) are definitely a concern.

I have a drive hooked up but not turned on yet. The Windows ones, yes, works like a charm. There’s Linux and Windows XP machines on the network, but I don’t intend to back them up on the My Book World Edition II…yet.
#WD EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE TIME MACHINE PRO#
My setup consists of three Windows 7 Pro 64-bit machines. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help. Since I haven’t opened the box yet, if it looks like I can’t do the basic things that WD advertised, I may just take it back to the store and continue using a cloud-like system for sharing the files. Ī) Is that possible and EASY with this hard drive?ī) Will I be able to use Time Machine to back up the Mac WITHOUT having to enter the terminal?Ĭ) If I return this unit and get the 2TB one with the mirrored RAID hard drive that’s supposed to automatically backup every changed file, will it automatically backup my Mac-based files and my Windows files?ĭ) Can I just add another hard drive to the MyBook via usb or ethernet (which?) and use IT as the Time Machine backup? I’d also like to do automatic backups like I do now with Time Machine. What I want to do is to transfer all my files currently on the iMac (documents and photos at least) to the MyBook and access all of these files from all the other computers (and possibly another iMac too).
For years I’ve been using WD hard drives so I just bought the MyBook World Edition thinking it would solve my problem of a too many computers and files, but after reading many of the posts on this forum, it sounds like I’ll have more problems than I do now.Ĭurrently I have a desktop (iMac) and a two laptops (an LG netbook running Windows XP and a hackintoshed Dell Mini 10v netbook perfectly running both Snow Leopard and Windows 7 (though not at the same time–you either boot up into OSX or Win 7).
