WD My Cloud (NAS) is connected to my Internet router, and WD My Passport Ultra (usb harddrive) is connected to my Windows 7 computer. All devices are in the same home network. This automatically backups works ok:
From computer to My Passport
From My Passport to My Cloud.
As I understand, I can not set My Cloud as a backup source, but is it still possible?
The reason for my question is that I plan to have a centrel storage for all my PC’s, tablets, mobiles and DLNA equipments in WD My Cloud.
Yes of course…, that can be the solution. I will create a safepoint on my drive and try it out.
I will probably buy an extra USB 3.0 Passport drive, and connect it to directly to My Cloud. The transfer speed will be better (because my computer motherboard only supports USB 2.0) and scheduled automatic backups can be done without any need of access to another network drive.
