8. During the backup:

• A progress bar and message indicate the amount of data that has been backed

up.

• For a category backup, the blue background in the content gauge for your

computer’s internal hard drive changes to yellow/amber for all of the files that

have not yet been backed up.

• The gray background for categories or files in the content gauge for your

My Passport drive changes to blue as the backup completes.

• You can continue to set up your drive or perform any other functions because the

WD SmartWare software backs up your files in the background.

• The Start Backup toggle button changes to Stop Backup for stopping the

backup (see step 10 on page 31).
