You can do a search for "unformat" utilities, or you could try a restore, but I suspect you don't have to do either. The files and software that come with the drive are usually backup routines and other disk management stuff that duplicates what you already have somewhere.

What you really care about is whether the drive works or not. I assume it has a letter assigned, so just try saving files to it. If they save, you're good to go. You can also try to view the contents of the drive and see if anything's on it.

(Are you really sure it said "format daily" and not "backup daily"?)
