my PC has 2 HDD each with (C thru G) all on the Home Tab and if I select them one at a time I can configure thhe backup on the backup tab.

However, what is not clear to me is if each drive setup is overwriting the previous one. In other words, can I backup from multiple sources?

Hello,

WD Smartware has been designed to backup multiple computers. In your case just multiple drives on the same computer. The WD Smartware will not override the backups. It will just name then differently.

How can I verify this?

Where on my WD MyBook Live duo can I find these folders?
