So after over 9 hours of this delete process, I have less drive space.Īt this point I don’t know if there is a bug in WD Backup’s undocumented Delete process, or a problem with the hardware of the drive itself. I terminated the delete process and then checked the properties of the drive again. No green stripe sliding across indicating that anything was happening. After 7 hours it showed the green stripe sliding across the bar as if it was still working on the delete process.Īfter 9.25 hours, it appeared “frozen”. Then I initiated a backup and it eventually failed as before.Īt this point I checked the drive properties on My Passport. On the other hand, using an external hard drive will give you the most control over what you’re backing up, and many prefer to have it the old-fashioned way. If it is then it is likely that the drives problem is a MBR (master boot record/partition record) problem. This next option will definitely take the most manual labor. The other option is to run data recovery software on it and you should be able to tree the hard drive, move the files off, repartition/reformat, and move the data back. But before I did, I deleted the backup plan and created a new one, just in case some bug could be cleared out that way. Do i need to delete old backups from wd my passport for mac software. I took your advice to let the delete run. To clarify and add more information, I am using WD Backup on a Windows 7 PC to back up to My Passport Ultra 1T.
