I have the same problem and I contacted to my local support in Russia. Unfortunately, they cannot help. All they can do is to suggest to switch off the FireWall/Anti-virus and downgrade WD_SW to v.1.5.

I did it , no answers till now. total darkness  wondc team.

Someone could send me previous release? please.

I had the same problem and went back to the older version

You are lucky, I don’t have the older version. Where can I find it? Surfed everywhere to no avail…

@Dedannan

You can download it here http://wd-smartware.software.informer.com/

But, it did not help me. I have decided to use another backup software.

thk, downloaded old version 1.5 and now it works.

Very upset regarding lack of information and help by WD support, very very bad!!!:angry:

Thanks, but as you said, it did not help. However, I found version 1.5, installed it and all is well!. Let’s hope WD will have that bug fixed very fast…
