I use it like a flash drive anyway. If you want to do this then just click on windows explorer and navigate to the hard drive and drag and drop to it ignoring the folders that are already on the hard drive. You can also backup directly to it using control panel's backup if you have a windows operating system.
If you really wish to use their software that is included with the hard drive to backup your files, then using windows explorer navigate to the folders that are on the hard drive and click on the WD Apps Setup.exe file. It also has the user manual that you can read in the "user manuals" folder. Just open that and open the "ENG" folder for English.
I just don't care for their software. Remember there are always updates on the windows operating system and they can interfere with any software you have on your computer- can't depend on the company that makes the hard drive to keep updates for you.
