Backing Up a My Book Live Drive With Safepoints
With the included safepoint technology, you can automatically make a second copy
of your My Book Live to store on a My Book Live or an available network share. Now
you've got double-safe protection for all your media and ultimate peace of mind.
What is a Safepoint?
A safepoint is a snapshot of your My Book Live at a specific time stored on a
compatible network-attached device such as another My Book Live. The safepoint is
a collection of all of the data on your drive, including users, shares, WD SmartWare,
Apple Time Machine, or Windows 8/Windows 7/V ista backups, and associated
device configuration details. In the unlikely event that your My Book Live fails, you
can completely recover your data from a safepoint to a factory-fresh My Book Live.
Creating a Safepoint
To create a safepoint for your My Book Live:
1. Click Safepoints on the navigation pane.
