My Book or My Cloud?

First, see the response to your same question in your other thread.

Second, the entry level My Cloud (single bay units) do not officially have the capability to automatically power up after being powered down. To power on the My Cloud generally requires one to physically (or through a power plug timer) apply power to the unit. The units are designed to be left on 24/7. One might be able to configure some sort of script via SSH to turn the unit off after another My CLoud on the local network finishes backing up to it but to repower on the device will require the use of a timer to turn power on (and or off). There are other threads that discuss how to use SSH to issue a shutdown command. I commented in the following post one way to issue a shutdown command via SSH on v4.x firmware My Clouds, there is probably a similar method (but I don’t know it) for v2.x firmware My Clouds.
