Migrating from malfunctioning MyBook Live to MyCloud Mirror

Hello!

I’m having big issues with my MyBook Live. So much so, I’ve bought a new MyCloud Mirror and plan to return the faulty MBL.

The MBL constanly hangs and drops off my network. I can’t access the web interface, nor can I access the files until I power cycle the device. Then it works for a bit then dies again.

I’m having real trouble transferring my data off this drive to the new MCM due to the network dropping every time I turn my back on it, and I need to transfer 1TB of stuff off it.

Does anyone have any good ideas about how I could reliably get this thing to work long enough to get my data off it?

Cheers!

Chris

Hello,

I recommend connecting the My Book Live directly to the computer and transferring the files to the internal PC drive and then transfer the files to the My Cloud.
