Recommended Backup Drive for My Cloud Safe Points

I’m currently using a WD My Book as backup for My Cloud. The problem I’m running into is that the automatic backups I set don’t happen with it. Not sure if it’s because the drive is in sleep mode or what.

Would a portable drive be a better choice?

Hi there,

Do you get an error when you set up the backups? Try to restart the unit and see if this helps out.
