For everyone impacted by the “ongoing attacks” against MyBookLive devices, this is a good answer. I used to have 2 MyBookLive devices backup to each other in separate physical locations and now have 2 My Cloud Home replacement devices and a RaspberryPi to do the same thing.
Slightly different and more detailed instructions:
- Need: Raspberry Pi 3 B+, Power Supply, SD Card, Ethernet, Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse
- Follow Instructions via ownyourbits.com to setup a device
- Mount the My Cloud Home devices as Network Drives on the NextCloudPi by first getting the utilities
sudo apt-get install cifs-utils - Then create the directories “Y” and “Z”
sudo mkdir /mnt/y
sudo mkdir /mnt/z - Edit the file so that the My Cloud Home files can be read by the raspberry pi
sudo nano /etc/fstab - Add these 2 lines to the file with the correct IP addresses for your devices and save and exit nano.
//192.168.###.###/Public/ /mnt/y cifs guest,_netdev 0 0
(Another line like above but /mnt/z) - Mount the Drives and they’ll automatically mount if rebooted
sudo mount /mnt/y
sudo mount /mnt/z - Sync Y: to Z:
sudo rsync -r /mnt/y /mnt/z
Now I need to figure out how to make Y: backup to Z: automatically on an interval.
