Does WD My Passport Have Backup Software?

I use a 1TB WD My Passport to store my data on my computer, but it is stored with too many large files and videos. So, I want to back up these data to another hard drive. Does WD My Passport comes with backup software? What can I use to back up my WD My Passport hard drive if not?

Yes, WD once had a backup software called WD Backup. It is developed by Western Digital to protect data on the hard drive. You can use this backup tool to back up your files to Dropbox or HDD/SSD. Additionally, it allows users to create incremental backups and daily, weekly, and monthly scheduled backups.

Unfortunately, from the official site, you can read that Support for WD Backup has ended. And you are suggested to use Acronis True Image for Western Digital.

However, some users have reported that Acronis True Image for WD does not work properly sometimes. Under such circumstances, you can use other third-party backup tools, like EaseUS Todo Backup, to help you back up your WD My Passport. If you want to back up an external drive, you just connect the drive to your computer and then use it to back it up.

EaseUS Todo Backup is a professional, multifunctional backup and restore tool. It helps you back up systems, disks, partitions, and computer apps. You can also use it to back up multiple hard drives simultaneously and back up a hard drive before formatting.

In addition, you can also use it to install your Windows 7 on a hard drive for another computer. Most importantly, you can have 250G cloud storage space for free.

WD My Passport does not have a built-in backup tool since WD Backup is not available. If you want to back up a WD hard drive, you need to use a third-party backup tool like EaseUS Todo Backup.
