Can I create a SafePoint of selected Shares on a 'WD My Cloud'?

My Cloud OS 3 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud

I just purchased a ‘WD My Cloud’.  I plan to use the Windows backup utility to backup my computers to my ‘WD My Cloud’ in one share (ex: BackupShare) and host content in another (ex: Public).

Since my external USB drive can’t hold everything, I was planning on only creating a Safepoint backup of the Public share and not the BackupShare containing my desktop backups.

Is it possible to make a Safepoint of selected shares rather than of the whole ‘WD My Cloud’?   I couldn’t find a way to do that nor a forum or faq that addressed the question.

Thank-you

The Safepoint is designed to make a full backup as explained on the link bellow.

You can manually backup that specific share or try using another software for that task.

You can also do rsync of any shares - requires ssh access and knowledge of rysnc
