RE: not Dave....

The DBpoweramp program is not an MP3 converter. It comes with a format converter as part of the package and this is an optional extra. It can convert whatever format that you have ripped to any other than you need. I merely cited MP3 as an example. Its use is optional not compulsory. Please look in th archives of AA, say in PC audio. You will see that DBpoweramp is pretty generally recognised as the best ripper that there is. You should not overlook it until you have tried the free period of use that it offers. I hope you will then see why it is so good and gets so much recommendation.

Yes you do have backup software with your WD Cloud. It is preinstalled on the device and I believe is accessed via the dashboard. You need to find out how to open the dashboard. http://support.wdc.com/KnowledgeBase/answer.aspx?ID=10420

You will see from the embodied link here that backup is definitely included. Thanks to Dave K for clarifying that such backups are not encrypted. However I would therefore suggest not making the backup on another WD Cloud but to another type of hard drive. I would also strongly advise you to make 2 backups. You will realise why should you ever need to use one. If your main drive fails and you only have one backup then when you replace the failed drive with the other then at that point you will have no backup and will be vulnerable if anything goes wrong. Some experienced users keep their second backup off site.

I hope you will find this useful.
