Yes it is totally true that if I did not copy via the usb and directly attaching the WD My Book to the WD Cloud and backing up with safepoint it works like a charm. It was one of my first test when everything was in pristine shape. However, I found that the safepoints was only backing up data at 10MB/s. This would be fine if I had intended to let safepoint do all the mirroring, but I do want to be able to pull off the USB drive to use as a normal PC drive once in awhile.
Now I don’t know if it is as simple as turning off Media Share to fix both problems.
-
disconnecting from network
-
going awol (offline) when a usb drive is connected.
I do have a working solution and it is mentioned above. It fixes both problem as well as letting me access it remotely by the iphone app.
I can take off and put on the usb drive anytime. Copy data via USB or via the network without problems.
I do have two working drives with fixes to the problems.
