Hi I have a WD my cloud 3TB with my backup now I want to move that backup to a new WD my cloud mirror 6TB, then my intention is continuo to backing up to the WD my cloud Mirror and delete the other backup, I read that I can make a save point from one device to another, but my understanding is that the safe point only will backing up between the two WD devices and no to the WD my cloud mirror directly.

Anybody can help me to understand and tell me what is the best way to do it.
