I posted here the other day saying that all my time machine backups disappeared, Time machine would not recognize them and initiated a new backup to rewrite everything. i cancelled it. My feedback here is that Mycloud works very poorly with timemachine and constantly has to start over. I have now lost 6 weeks of backups.
Yes, I RESET the drive. No that didn’t work. All thi happened after the firmware “Upgrade.”
I have not had a single response to my post from WD. Fortunately, the place I bought it agreed to take it back for a store credit.
Before I return it:
(1) Does anyone from WD care enough to contact me and help?
(2) Does anyone here have this unit working reliably? Anyone?
Yes I have mine working perfectly on rolled back firmware. Three users, nine shares, connected USB drive for my Safepoint. SSH access, FTP access to two users. My Cloud software access to 2 W7 PCs, an Android tablet and a BlackBerry Phone. Smartware backup running invisibly on two PCs with little performance impact. I have a media library of 15,000 tracks, and some videos, all accessible from my sound system via a WD TV Live SMP, plus 20,000 photos which stream direct to my Sony TV.
Everything works as it should,although I admit it took a lot of patience. I’m one happy bunny and I’m sure there are many others like me out there :-)
