Restoring MacBook from TimeMachine backup on My Cloud Home - Does it work?

I am currently working my way through the complexities of having several different MacBooks backup to the same My Cloud Home device.

As I’ve been sifting through the online conversations, I’ve seen a few people mention that they have had considerable difficulties restoring from TimeMachine backups on My Cloud Home. Needless to say, this is causing me to question the value of working through the complexities of having several different MacBooks backup to the same device - what’s the point of having a backup if it doesn’t work?

So that brings me to my question. I would be keen to hear about other users’ experiences restoring from backup (good and bad).

I am separately trying to workout how to access the Dashboard as despite multiple efforts I can’t get any of my devices to see or connect to the My Cloud Home device. That is the subject of another post.

With much thanks

Hi pierdangelo,

My cloud home has no dashboard to access.
