Sync between two My Cloud 2TB - Off-site backup My Cloud to My Cloud

[Bennor]

I have two My Cloud 2TB drives at two different physical addresses(and networks) to provide off-site backup. I would like to sync the two so that I have an off-site backup. When I am on either network, I would like to access the “local” drive and have the updates sync to the other.

If both options are not available, I would like to have the off-site drive act as a backup and have the on-site drive automatically backed up to the off-site drive.

Can any of this be done? Although I thought I read that off-site backups of My Cloud devices was possible, I have been unable to find any documentation.

If one does a subforum search they’ll find this is discussed in a number of earlier threads. See below. The newer v2.x My Cloud units apparently do have the capability to backup to a similar version My Cloud at a remote location, however the older v4.x My Cloud units do not officially have remote backup capability. Unofficially, if one has the older v4.x My Cloud they may be able to use Rsync via SSH to backup to a remote location.
