I just want to backup my laptop to this WD drive. I don't want a cloud

Downloads are done and I installed the utilities - now it doesn’t back up my folders and files. However, I see that it backed up MS Onedrive files. All I have is Document and Pictures folders with nothing in them.

All I need is a simple backup.

We suggest you to install Acronis True Image for Western Digital for file backup and restore to a WD NAS: Acronis True Image for Western Digital: File Backup & Restore to WD Network Attached Storage (NAS).
