Creating a Remote Backup

My Cloud OS 3 Personal & Network Attached Storage My Cloud
#1

I have just upgraded from a MyCloud 4TB to a MyCloudEX2Ultra with 2-4TB drives.

I am trying to repurpose the MyCloud 4TB single drive unit as a location for a backup of the MyCloudEX2Ultra.

I can seem to get it to work, is this possible? And how do I do it?

Thanks,

Rob

Which My Cloud version do you have? First gen v4.x or second gen v2.x?

The second generation My Cloud units running v2.x firmware do not support being a backup target for another My Cloud when using the backup option in the My Cloud Dashboard.

One possible workaround is to use a CRON job or something similar at the firmware level to copy files using something like Rsync from one My Cloud to another. Do a forum search (magnifying glass icon upper right) for Rsync and or CRON and you should find a number of past discussions on backing up one My Cloud to another.
