Warning - WD software does not save all files

I recently had a sudden SSD crash. No problem I thought - I have my back-up. I was wrong.

I am a climate change impact analysis and I write a lot of ad hoc programs in VB.Net to convert data from different formats. Many of the files associated with the programs were missing, including files with a VB extension which are essentially text files of code.

I also had a separate folder of files for installing different programs. None of the .exe files was saved.

I am continuing to use WD hardware but have given up on their software.

Hello there,

When you did the backups, what software were you using to backup your files?

Thanks for responding.

I was using the software as supplied by WD on my Passport.
