WBFS Manager allows you to transfer third-party games to a volume using the Nintendo Wii Backup File System. It's a software bundle that gives you the freedom to move games to separate storage devices using your PC. This is great for those who want to make back ups so they won't lose digital content or DLC packs.

It's also an ideal solution for those who are concerned about backing up their save files so they won't get them wiped out if anything goes wrong. Users can rely on WBFS Manager to transfer these files to almost any standard memory stick, SDHC card or hard drive as long as it's connected via USB.

While you might not think of storage volumes on your Nintendo Wii using a file system the way your PC does, a game console is a form of general purpose computer. As a result, it needs to interact with information in this way. That means you're going to need to reformat whatever device you plug in with the WBSF format, which will make it almost invisible to Windows and clear off whatever data you had on it before hand.

Gamers won't have any problem with this if they use new blank media or just make sure to move anything they want to keep off the drive before they use it with WBFS Manager. It's the same process as formatting a storage unit to work with anything else, so if you keep this in mind you'll never run into any issues. Once the format is complete, you'll be able to move ISO 9660 files and play them freely.
